The New Rationality of Digital Sovereignty
For decades, digital transformation followed a clear logic. Efficiency, scale, and innovation were the ultimate measures of progress. Cloud computing, global supply chains, and open ecosystems seemed to be the rational path forward. The idea of "digital sovereignty", meaning the control over one's...
Sovereignty in the Cloud is A Matter of Perspective
Sovereignty in the cloud is often treated as a cost. Something that slows innovation, complicates operations, and makes infrastructure more expensive. But for governments, critical industries, and regulated enterprises, sovereignty is the basis of resilience, compliance, and long-term autonomy....
What If Cloud Was Never the Destination But Just One Chapter In A Longer Journey
For more than a decade, IT strategies were shaped by a powerful promise that the public cloud was the final destination. Enterprises were told that everything would eventually run there, that the data center would become obsolete, and that the only rational strategy was "cloud-first". For a time,...

For quite some time, my small home lab has been the place where I like to test and learn new things. It started with three nodes, but today I just run a single ESXi server. On that host, I experimented with PiHole and Kubernetes, but recently I decided it was time to try something new since I have...
Moving into Any Cloud Is Easy. Leaving Is the Hard Part
For more than a decade, the industry has been focused on one direction. Yes, into the cloud. Migration projects, cloud-first strategies, and transformation initiatives all pointed the way toward a future where workloads would move out of data centers and into public platforms. Success was measured...
What Is Sovereign Enough for You?
Digital sovereignty has become one of the defining topics for governments, regulators, and organizations that operate with sensitive data. Everyone wants to know how much control they truly have over their cloud environment. But the question that should be asked first is: what is sovereign enough...
I focus on sovereign cloud, hybrid cloud infrastructure, and data privacy in regulated industries.
