Sovereign Cloud Stack

One platform — standardized, built and operated by many.

Sovereign Cloud Stack Summit 2023

Dear Friends of SCS and interested Observers,

The Sovereign Cloud Stack is now in its second year successfully building a community to develop and maintain a standardized open source cloud computing stack. Success means that we have released the fourth version and that by now four public cloud service providers base their offering on SCS standards and technology. Reason enough to call for our first summit, which happened on 23rd and 24th of May 2023 in Berlin for users, developers, adopters and everybody, who is affiliated to this project to gather, share knowledge, as well as experience and to – of course – network and have fun.

Thank you!

The event is now over. We had really interesting presentations and panel discussions on stage and really good conversations with all participants. Thanks for everyone who joined us, but especially the speakers and organizers!

This page will remain in place, documenting the event and containing links to the slides and videos from the program.
