Sovereignty through mastery: Building a multi-cloud IDP for digital autonomy

With the shifting geopolitical landscape, sovereignty has moved from a legal requirement to a core business resilience strategy. However, true sovereignty is not achieved by isolation, but through freedom of choice. This session demonstrates how an internal developer platform (IDP) serves as the operational backbone for this autonomy. It takes a deep dive into a production-ready stack that bridges the gap between global hyperscalers and European sovereign clouds, exploring the architectural decisions needed to move beyond fragmented infrastructure and become sovereign by design.

• The unified experience: How to bring separate cloud teams and varying levels of maturity into a single interface, making sovereign options as easy to discover and use as global ones.
• Designing for developer appeal: Why sovereignty fails if it is a burden.
• Mastery over magic: Why the focus shifts away from the myth of automatic workload migration and toward building internal capability and technical standards to switch providers whenever the business demands it.
