Certified SCS-compatible KaaS
With the certification Certified SCS-compatible KaaS you show that your infrastructure complies with the KaaS (Kubernetes-as-a-Service) standards of the Sovereign Cloud Stack.
This ensures that your KaaS environment can be operated interoperably, securely and efficiently.
Who is the certification suitable for?
This certification is ideal for you if you:
- offer or operate KaaS services
- want to set up a standardised and compatible cloud infrastructure
- want to ensure the interoperability and interchangeability of your cloud solutions
- want to position yourself in the environment of sovereign cloud infrastructures
In short:
If you operate or want to set up a future-proof and compatible cloud infrastructure, you've come to the right place.
What does the certification prove?
With this certification you prove that:
- your infrastructure complies with SCS-KaaS standards
- the orchestration of containers across different cloud environments and platforms is efficient, secure and compatible
- your KaaS layer integrates the provisioning, management and operation of Kubernetes clusters
- your cloud is interoperable with other SCS-compatible environments
You make your infrastructure trustworthy and connectable.
Classification of the certificate
Technological dependencies often arise due to proprietary interfaces and platforms. This makes switching providers difficult and often very cost-intensive.
By using open standards and open source software, you reduce these dependencies. You gain more flexibility, increase the interoperability of your systems and retain control over your technological development.
The certificate confirms the achievement of the „freedom of choice“ dimension of the 4 dimensions of digital sovereignty.
You can find more information about the dimensions on the page „Digital sovereignty“.
That means for you:
- You reduce technological dependencies on individual providers
- You rely on open standards
- You enable interoperability between different cloud environments
