Expo highlight IONOS: Working together on the European cloud

At a time when Europe's digital sovereignty is under increasing geopolitical and economic pressure, the Sovereign European Cloud API (SECA API) initiative is entering its next decisive phase. The founding members, Aruba, IONOS and Dynamo, have published a call for comments with a clear message: now is the time to create a truly open, interoperable cloud standard for Europe. Interested parties can participate in the further development of SECA until mid-September.

The SECA API is an important building block for Europe's digital independence. The initiative, which has already received considerable media attention and is being closely followed by industry players, has gained significant momentum across the continent. It is a fundamental component of the emerging EuroStack and can support and complement national efforts such as the Germany Stack. In addition, the SECA API can advance the IPCEI-CIS project. By providing a modular, open interface for cloud infrastructures, the SECA API aims to bring Europe's fragmented cloud landscape to a common denominator through genuine, verifiable interoperability, rather than just guaranteeing digital sovereignty on paper.

With the launch of the next phase – namely the SECA API RFC process – the entire cloud community, from independent developers to established providers, will have the opportunity to help shape the future development of the API. European cloud providers and developers are invited to participate in the RFC process and help build EuroStack, a modular, interoperable cloud ecosystem based on European values and standards.

Further information on participating in SECA is available here: www.secapi.cloud.
