Is digital sovereignty illusory without open source and a trusted supply chain?

Red Hat News - Fri, 05/29/2026 - 08:00
For a Chief Information Officer (CIO) or VP of Infrastructure, the term "digital sovereignty" often arrives as a regulatory burden to support a collection of acronyms like DORA (the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act), NIS2 (the updated Network and Information Security Directive), and PDPA (the Personal Data Protection Act) that require more checklists and audits.

Beyond VM migration: What comes after the lift-and-shift

I've had this conversation dozens of times with infrastructure teams. They've just finished, or are deep into, a VM migration off a legacy hypervisor. The hard part is nearly done. Or, so they think.Here's the thing most people don't talk about: migration itself is the easy part. It's tactical. It has a clear beginning, middle, and end. What comes after, actually modernizing how you run your infrastructure, that's where the real work lives, and honestly, where most of the value is.The industry shifts driving these migrations represent a strategic opportunity for modern infrastructure.
