Navigating the Cloud: Sovereignty, Sustainability, and Infrastructure Scaling

As the public sector accelerates its shift toward the cloud, the focus is transitioning from simple migration to sophisticated infrastructure management. This session explores the nuances of multi-cloud strategies versus singular cloud models, as well as the emerging priorities of data sovereignty and environmental sustainability. We will discuss how to optimise cloud environments for cost and carbon efficiency while ensuring they remain resilient in an uncertain global landscape.

• Analysing multi-cloud versus singular cloud approaches to determine the best fit for specific public sector remits.
• How to address data sovereignty concerns to ensure government data remains safe in an increasingly fractured and unsafe global landscape?
• How to determine the red flags that indicate a cloud migration is failing before significant loss of public funds occurs?
• Scaling infrastructure for bigger environments and managing the integration of legacy architecture within the cloud.
• Reviewing case studies of cloud transitions, including the experimentation phase and lessons learned.
