Digital sovereignty and hybrid cloud: Red Hat Italy's vision
Translated title. Original: Sovranità digitale e cloud ibrido: la visione di Red Hat Italia
Red Hat argues that true digital sovereignty means controlling data, infrastructure, and processes without dependence on a single vendor, region, or tech stack. It emphasizes three intertwined pillars—data privacy, infrastructure resilience, and local innovation—enabled by open source and open hybrid cloud, with regulatory compliance and workload portability as core requirements. Italian firms are piloting sovereign cloud solutions to balance localization with the flexibility of the public cloud, viewing sovereignty as an ongoing strategic journey rather than mere compliance.
