Sovereign Cloud Architecture Blueprint for the EU
Summary
The whitepaper argues that EU data residency alone is no longer sufficient and that enterprises must design for operational sovereignty—who can operate and prove control over systems—not just where data sits. It focuses on five design areas (data residency and flows, control planes, identity/privileged access, encryption/key custody, and operational autonomy) and provides concrete patterns like sovereign landing zones, jurisdictional zoning, and portability-by-design. The paper cites regulatory drivers (DORA, NIS2, EU Data Act, EHDS) and notes that hyperscaler sovereign offerings can help but do not remove architectural obligations. It delivers a layer-by-layer blueprint, a 12-question readiness checklist, and positions V2Solutions to help implement sovereign-ready cloud platforms and evidence pipelines.
