“Move your data to the cloud” has long been treated as a prerequisite for innovation. In regulated industries and sovereign cloud initiatives, this model increasingly breaks down.

In this session, we explore a different approach: decoupling cloud services from cloud location. We demonstrate how Kubernetes and open CNCF standards enable a consistent developer and operator experience while allowing organizations to choose where their data is processed.

The talk introduces an open-source service hub that provisions and operates managed services—databases, messaging systems, reverse proxies, and DevOps tooling—across on-prem, private cloud, and sovereign public cloud environments, all through a unified API.
