Sovereignty in the Age of AI: Control, Transparency, and the Future of Platforms

DevOps was the promise. Then came platform engineering. Now, sovereignty is the conversation every European engineering team is having.

The requirements are familiar: store your data in Europe, use compliant cloud providers, meet GDPR, the Data Act, the AI Act. But for most teams, what this actually means in practice is still murky.

This is because sovereignty is often misunderstood. It’s not just about compliance or storing data in a specific location. It’s about control and transparency. Do you really understand the tools you use? Do you know what runs on your platform? Can you move your workloads if needed?

In the era of agentic AI, these questions become critical. AI systems will build and operate on top of your platform. If you do not control the platform, you do not control the outcome.

In this webinar, we take a practical look at sovereignty in the context of Kubernetes and Developer Platforms. We show you why open source and CNCF projects play a key role, how transparency helps you stay in control, and what a real exit strategy looks like.

Using OpenChoreo as an example, we explore how to build a sovereign platform without starting from scratch. A platform that can run across environments, support AI workloads, and keep your data where it belongs.
