Article: Architecting Portable Systems on Open Standards for Digital Sovereignty

Digital sovereignty is about maintaining control of critical systems by limiting reliance on any single vendor. Open standards and portable architectures reduce lock‑in and keep migration options open, even when providers change pricing, licensing, or viability. Full independence is impossible, but disciplined design and clear guardrails strengthen resilience.

QCon London 2026: Fixing the AI Infra Scale Problem by Stuffing 1M Sandboxes in a Single Server

Unikraft CEO Felipe Huici demonstrated waking the one-millionth VM on a commodity server in ten milliseconds at QCon London. The talk traced a decade from academic unikernel research to a platform offering stateless scale-to-zero VMs with full isolation. Using Firecracker and VM snapshots, sleeping workloads resume instantly, turning server density from a hardware problem into a scheduling one.
