Sovereign Cloud; the what, the why, and how of Sovereign Cloud Computing
We start with explaining what Sovereign Cloud means.
We will go through all the services that are necessary to set up a Secure Landing Zone (SLZ). One of the important services within solution is the usage of Azure Policies. We have included a technical demonstration that shows these guardrails in action, ensuring BIO compliancy.
Arnold and Dinant will end their talk with the lessons they have learned. To already give you a spoiler, challenges are not only related to complexity of technology.

Additional notes
Many of us have heard about the term ‘Digital Sovereignty’, is it just a buzzword or is it in the interest of the customer in means of cloud compliancy? Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad interpretations of this concept, especially how to reach the ultimate implementation model by taking measures to protect your data and privacy. Hyperscalers like Amazon, Google and Microsoft have each developed their own approach to support Digital Sovereignty use cases. The question may arise, can this help to solve the NIS2 directive challenges? We will compare all approaches and explain which pain points they are trying to solve. After the comparison we will dig deeper into the unique approach Microsoft takes with their ‘Cloud for Sovereignty’ and the benefits for you as customer.
Last year Arnold and Dinant worked intensively together with Microsoft and their customers implementing and improving the ‘Cloud for Sovereignty’ solution. We will go through all the services that are necessary to set up a Secure Landing Zone (SLZ). One of the important services within solution is the usage of Azure Policies. We have included a technical demonstration that shows these guardrails in action, ensuring BIO compliancy.

Hopefully see you soon during our talk. Of course, we are here to answer all your questions
Confidential Compute with Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty
Sovereign services have made their way to Azure, bringing the essence of Sovereign Cloud Computing. Last year, Arnold and Dinant collaborated closely with Microsoft and their clients to implement and enhance the 'Cloud for Sovereignty' solution. Together, we will delve into the essential services required to establish a Sovereign Landing Zone (SLZ).
Join us for an insightful session on safeguarding your assets in a Sovereign Cloud. Discover how we secure workloads processing sensitive data through practical use cases and brief demos. #SovereignCloud #CloudComputing #DataSecurity
Build your own Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (with ECK) using the GitOps approach
This lightning talk is about ECK and choosing a GitOps approach for managing all your clusters.
First we will briefly explain GitOps and the main drivers we wanted to achieve like better productivity, higher reliability, consistent deployments, standard configurations and ensured Security configuration in-place.
We talk about the benefits (in our case ArgoCD) of setting up clusters using a GitOps approach. We will also cover our approach of creating Helm chart based deployments for Elasticsearch, Kibana and more. Additionally, we will briefly explain how we automated certain Elasticsearch features with a developed configloader (like templates, ingest pipelines, ILM policies, SLM/snapshots configuration and easy to extend) to ensure our desired state. As result we have created complete hands-off and managed Kubernetes cluster service with ECK Operator managed Elastic tenants for each domain.
This is the ultimate building block to provide self-service and a future-ready integration for DevOps teams.
Last slide will be looking back to the achievements we made like hardening and share learnings when it becomes to doing maintenance, sailing with ECK and fully going cloud native.
