How sovereign does your cloud actually need to be?
In this episode of DevOps Sauna, Pinja Kujala and Kalle Sirkesalo unpack the different levels of digital sovereignty, from basic EU data residency and access control to operational independence, jurisdictional immunity, and fully air-gapped infrastructure.
They explore how GDPR, NIS2, DORA, the EU AI Act, and other European regulations are changing cloud strategies, why greater sovereignty comes with significant costs and trade-offs, and how organizations can decide what level of control they genuinely need.
If you're navigating cloud compliance, regulated industries, data sovereignty, or the growing tension between innovation and digital independence, this episode offers a practical framework for thinking about where to draw the line.
