Clever Cloud is introducing the Ultimate Sovereignty Clause, a contractual mechanism designed to ensure that a cloud service remains sovereign within a European framework, even if its provider were to come under non-European control.

CKE in public beta: managed, sovereign, and properly integrated Kubernetes
Clever Cloud was founded in 2010. At that point, Docker did not exist, and Kubernetes even less. The problem, however, was already there: running our first customers' applications reliably, in isolation, and predictably.

Provisioning, updates, availability and certificate rotation are handled by the provider. The user retains control over their workloads and node pools but does not administer the cluster’s critical infrastructure.
