Our home emergency system saves lives on AWS – and it works brilliantly. But what if we needed to run it independently? Join a CARU engineer and a CNCF Ambassador as they explore what a truly sovereign, open-source alternative would look like – without compromising the reliability our users depend on.

At CARU, our home emergency system protects elderly people living independently. When lives are at stake, reliability isn't optional – it's everything. We built our architecture on AWS managed services, and honestly? It works.
But as engineers, we ask uncomfortable questions: What if regulations change? What if geopolitical shifts make US cloud dependency a business risk? We don't have these problems today, but responsible architects prepare for tomorrow.
In this session, we turn the stage into an architecture exploration room. Starting from a production IoT system, we'll investigate what it would actually take to achieve full sovereignty using open-source, Cloud Native technologies.
