GovStack: A Global Community for Digital Transformation
summary
GovStack provides an open, vendor‑agnostic specification for national digital services; the Cloud Infrastructure Working Group drafts a blueprint between September 2023 and August 2024 across ~15 meetings with about eight regular contributors from six countries and multiple volunteers, producing a reference implementation based on Sovereign Cloud Stack that runs on commodity hardware and uses Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry and IAM federation. The spec is already in test sandboxes (Djibouti), fuels trainings in Kenya, Somalia and Djibouti, and feeds a marketplace of Gx‑compliant software.
