Europe’s Digital Foundation Accelerates: Introducing a Fully Sovereign Cloud-Native Stack

Europe is entering an important new phase in its digital transformation. As organisations modernise around AI, data-intensive workloads and evolving regulation, the need for a secure and trusted cloud foundation has never been clearer. Customers are asking for choice, operational excellence and long-term control, delivered without complexity.

evroc, The European Cloud, was created to meet exactly that need. As Europe’s first hyperscale sovereign cloud, evroc combines global-grade performance and automation with a fully European operational footprint. Sovereignty is not an add-on; it is part of the platform’s design.

Today, that foundation becomes even stronger.

A Fully Sovereign Linux and Kubernetes Stack — Now Available on evroc

Through a new strategic partnership between evroc and SUSE, customers can now access a complete, fully sovereign Linux and Kubernetes stack running natively on a European cloud platform.

SUSE’s enterprise Linux and Kubernetes technologies, relied on by many of the world’s leading organisations, are now delivered and supported entirely within Europe. Combined with evroc’s automated hyperscale infrastructure, customers gain a unified cloud-native environment with clear, consistent sovereignty from operating system to container orchestration.

This is a significant step for Europe’s digital ecosystem: familiar open-source technologies, delivered with the clarity, control and trust of a European cloud.

Sovereignty That Works the Way Teams Already Work

Traditionally, achieving sovereignty has introduced operational friction, duplicate environments, additional tooling or engineering overhead. The evroc–SUSE partnership removes these barriers and makes the transition to a sovereign environment - Seamless.

• Sovereign Rancher powered by evroc delivers Kubernetes management that feels instantly familiar. Workloads scale, policies apply and clusters operate consistently, with all control-plane data kept fully inside Europe.

• SUSE Linux Enterprise built on evroc provides a hardened, mission-critical operating system where all data and metadata remain within EU jurisdiction.

Teams can adopt sovereignty without adjusting how they build, ship or operate applications. Compliance becomes clearer, operations stay streamlined and risk is reduced as part of the platform experience.

A More Resilient and Future-Ready Europe

By combining SUSE’s open-source leadership with evroc’s sovereign cloud automation, organisations gain a modern, resilient and transparent foundation for their most important workloads. Operational processes, lifecycle management and support sit entirely within Europe, reducing exposure to foreign jurisdiction and simplifying regulatory alignment.

This is not only a technical milestone; it is a meaningful step toward strengthening Europe’s long-term digital independence and competitiveness.

A Partnership Focused on Customer Impact and Sustainable Innovation

This launch represents only the first step in a broader, long-term collaboration. evroc and SUSE are committed to developing a wide-ranging partnership that brings more choice, more innovation and more resilience to Europe’s cloud ecosystem. Going forwards, the two companies will explore deeper cross-stack integrations, joint solutions, and new capabilities designed to support AI, virtualisation, container security and modern application operations.

The goal is simple: to give European organisations a fully sovereign, cloud-native foundation that continues to evolve in line with Europe’s priorities, customer needs, regulatory frameworks and digital ambitions. Together, evroc and SUSE are building not just a platform, but a multi-year roadmap for a stronger, more independent and more innovative European digital future, offering a path forward: efficient, compliant and unmistakably European.
