Eclipse Xpanse: Enabling digital sovereignty through portable cloud services
About this talk
This talk, presented by Marco D’Angelo from Huawei, focuses on Eclipse Xpanse and its role in enabling digital sovereignty through portable cloud services. The session explores how Xpanse mitigates vendor lock-in by offering a service-level abstraction that allows complete application stacks to be defined once and deployed across various cloud environments. The speaker discusses the architecture of Xpanse, highlighting its integration with cloud provider control planes such as identity and service management, and its ability to support lifecycle management including provisioning and migration. Additionally, the talk addresses how Xpanse aligns with emerging regulatory requirements and initiatives like Gaia-X, emphasizing the importance of service and data portability for avoiding long-term dependencies on single cloud providers.
