Sovereign Cloud

Put critical workloads under European control.

Cloudnovi helps European teams map jurisdiction and provider dependencies, then test an exit path. We move workloads to European-owned infrastructure when customer requirements or operational risk justify the change.

Control checklist

Questions customers ask

01
Ownership and jurisdiction Who controls the provider and which laws reach it
02
Data and operations Storage, backups, logs, support access, and control planes
03
Technical dependency Managed services and proprietary components that constrain a move
04
Exit evidence How long a tested export, restore, or rebuild takes
Working definition

A practical sovereign setup matches controls to workload risk. It documents who can reach the service and gives your team a tested route to another provider.

Define the requirement

Sovereignty is a control question.

An EU region answers where a workload runs. Buyers still need to know who controls the provider, where administrators and telemetry sit, and whether your team can move the service without losing continuity.

01

Data location

Map where primary data, backups, logs, and telemetry go. Region selection covers only part of that path.

02

Legal control

Identify the entities that own and operate each service, the jurisdictions that reach them, and the contract you can enforce.

03

Operational control

Trace administrator access, support routes, encryption keys, control planes, and the people who can act on production.

04

Technical control

Test whether your team can export data, rebuild services, and operate elsewhere within an acceptable time window.

Provider nationality does not settle the assessment.

A European provider can depend on external software, support, or sub-processors. A global provider can offer useful EU controls while remaining subject to another jurisdiction. We examine the full operating chain and the needs of each workload.

The engagement

Build the evidence before committing to a migration.

We assess the estate, test the hard parts, and document the tradeoffs. Workloads with adequate controls can stay in place. The migration plan covers the ones that need a stronger answer.

01

Dependency map

Provider entities, regions, control planes, support routes, sub-processors, backups, logs, and key ownership.

02

Workload placement

A reasoned decision for each workload: keep it in place, reduce a control gap, test portability, or prepare a move.

03

Exit test

A timed export, restore, or rebuild exercise that records data gaps, downtime, manual work, and service dependencies.

04

Migration plan

Target architecture, provider tradeoffs, cost and performance checks, sequencing, rollback points, and operating ownership.

Readiness assessment

Find the next piece of evidence to build.

Answer six questions about the workload, its control paths, and your ability to leave. The result suggests a next step. It is a directional engineering assessment, not a legal or compliance determination.

Recommended next step

Maintain the evidence

Keep provider ownership, data paths, and the tested exit procedure current.

Which providers run production or customer-facing workloads today?

Select every provider that matters for the workload. Provider names add context but do not determine the recommendation.

What are customers or procurement asking you today?

Choose the strongest signal you have seen in sales, security review, procurement, or renewal conversations.

What type of data or customer workload is in scope?

Answer for the workload with the strongest contractual, regulatory, or continuity requirements.

How well can you prove where control planes, logs, support, and backups go?

EU region selection alone is not the full answer if support access, telemetry, backups, or managed control planes cross other jurisdictions.

How tied is the workload to provider-native managed services?

The more your architecture depends on proprietary platform services, the harder a fast move becomes.

If you had to leave this provider, what is already tested?

This means evidence from a rehearsal, restore, failover, migration test, or runbook exercise, not only a slide or backlog item.
