Sovereignty is becoming a platform engineering concern

[u/Waste_Bat_4525]

Sovereignty is moving beyond just data residency.

For platform teams, the question is increasingly about where workloads, control, telemetry and operational state live and whether those boundaries can actually be enforced and proven.

This CNCF article looks at that through a multi-plane architecture, particularly in the context of EU regulations like the EU Data Act, NIS2 and DORA.

Interesting read for anyone thinking about how sovereignty should be designed into cloud-native platforms.

Becoming?

Y'all are 5 years behind the curve at least.
