Towards digital sovereignty with cloud federation: how to break the dominance of the hyperscalers (WHY2025)

A team of Dutch scientist and cloud engineers is working on Ecofed: European Cloud Services in an Open Federated Ecosystem. The objective and scope of the ECOFED project are to develop a technical framework for a more open and integrated cloud usage model. This framework will enable multiple clouds from various providers to function as a single, cohesive system, offering a European alternative to hyperscaler clouds. In this open cloud ecosystem, users can easily switch between different clouds.
