Certified providers
Providers who set standards
SCS-certified providers and integrators stand for trust, quality and genuine digital sovereignty. Their solutions are based on open standards and tested processes that ensure interoperability, transparency and security. The certification proves that they use open interfaces and open source technologies to avoid dependencies and enable sovereign, independent operation.
What distinguishes SCS-certified providers from other cloud services?
Anyone using cloud services should know the foundations on which they are based. SCS-certified providers have proven that their infrastructure is based on open standards - vendor-independent, testable and permanently changeable.
No vendor
Lock-in
SCS providers use standardised, open interfaces (APIs). This means you can switch to another SCS provider at any time – without losing any data or having to reconfigure your system.
Genuine
Interoperability
Applications that run on one SCS provider run on any other SCS provider. This simplifies multi-cloud strategies considerably.
Tested open standards
The certificate is based on automated tests against defined SCS standards - not a self-assessment, but an independent audit.
Tested exit capability
Change scenarios are actually prepared and can be tested - not just contractually promised.
In short: SCS certificates are not a marketing claim, but a technically verified standard for digital sovereignty in cloud infrastructures.
Certifiable standards
Certified SCS-compatible
Cloud providers can demonstrate their compliance with the SCS standards through automated tests and transparent processes. If successful, they are awarded „SCS-compatible“ certification.
Certification as „Certified SCS-compatible IaaS“ confirms that an infrastructure complies with the IaaS standards of the Sovereign Cloud Stack – including protocols and specifications for virtual machines, storage, networks and other basic components – and thus enables secure, interoperable and efficient cloud operation.
Certification as „Certified SCS-compatible KaaS“ confirms that a Kubernetes service complies with SCS standards and enables uniform, secure and cross-platform container orchestration.
Certified SCS Integrator
SCS Integrator certifications confirm that service providers can professionally implement and operate cloud environments in accordance with IaaS or KaaS standards – with proven expertise and established processes.
