Your Cloud. Your Rules. Building a Sovereign Cloud with Open Technologies
summary
Shows a tested recipe using Kubernetes, metal-stack.io, SONiC and Gardener to run an on‑prem sovereign cloud: 1 minute node provisioning, full Kubernetes clusters ready in about 6 minutes, and day‑2 ops automated by Gardener. Live deployments span four data centers with 1,500 bare metal servers hosting seven systemically relevant banks, 1,700 Kubernetes compliance tests per release, and a portable eight‑node “rack on wheels” test rig. Claims are implemented end‑to‑end and used in regulated production environments.
