The Dutch Ministry of Defence is moving to a sovereign cloud. It has signed a five-year agreement with SAP, with the cloud expected to go live in January 2028, according to Tweakers. Defence says it will retain control over its data processing and the configuration of the environment. Yet it also acknowledges that it will remain “significantly dependent” on SAP. Is your organisation assessing its own dependencies? -What do you control today? -Which suppliers do your critical operations depend on? -Could you keep operating if access, support or licensing changed? -Could you leave without rebuilding your systems? You don’t need to wait until your next cloud contract expires to ask these questions. By then, your options may already be limited. At Axual, we build on open Apache Kafka so organisations can choose where they run their data streaming and avoid proprietary lock-in. Make sovereignty a migration requirement. https://lnkd.in/e-hyw6Bi

Let every team self-serve Kafka inside guardrails, without infrastructure and administration growing at the same rate as adoption.

Stop tracing topic ownership through ACLs, tickets and spreadsheets, and see it directly in your streaming platform.

Manage Kafka streaming and governance on one platform built on Apache Kafka and Strimzi, not across several vendors.

Developers self-serve while ownership, access and governance stay under central control.

Build your streaming strategy on Apache Kafka and Strimzi, with the governance and self-service enterprises need from Axual
