"Carrez calls this 'the survival problem,' and it forms part of his definition of sovereignty - digital, data, AI, and so on. He says, 'A lot of people are just talking about digital sovereignty as like a catchphrase for a bunch of things.'"
"'The way I look at it is what are we meaning? It's all about building a resilience against something, right? But what are we exactly talking about? What are the scenarios we are actually trying to address?'"
"'There is the sovereignty that enterprises should already have, which, according to Carrez, is mostly around which laws apply to wherever your data is stored, wherever it's processed, and who can access it.'"
"'Then there is sovereignty in the supply chain. Not just software, but also the hardware that everything runs on.'"
Sovereignty emerged as a key topic at Kubecon, with Thierry Carrez emphasizing the implications of government-mandated 'kill switches' on critical infrastructure. He defined sovereignty in terms of digital resilience, data laws, and supply chain integrity. Carrez highlighted the importance of understanding the scenarios that sovereignty aims to address, including the legal frameworks governing data storage and access. The discussions indicated a growing recognition of sovereignty's relevance in technology, despite its late addition to the conference agenda.
