Our Head of Public Sector, Roni Kiuru, spoke about digital sovereignty at NOKIOS 2026 in Trondheim.
His message: make data portability a requirement. The ability to move data between providers gives public sector organizations greater control as circumstances change.
Thank you nd our partners at Computas for the opportunity to contribute.

Unplugging cables doesn’t create data sovereignty.
AWS's announced disconnection test for its European sovereign cloud focuses on operational independence. However, operational independence alone cannot establish sovereignty. Buyers also need to understand who owns the provider, tion keys, and how government requests for data are handled.
In our latest blog, William Barlow examines what a disconnection test can demonstrate and the questions cloud buyers should ask when assessing sovereignty claims: eu1.hubs.ly/H0zvxdy0

Great things are built together 💜
During the fall, the UpCloud team came together in Riga for our company retreat. A chance to connect, collaborate, and enjoy time together beyond our usual routines.
From team activities to hackathons, we shared ideas, tackled challenges, and turn creativity into action. And, of course, there was plenty of time for good conversations, laughter, and getting to know each other better.
Our retreat was a great reminder of what makes UpCloud, UpCloud: the people behind the technology, the different perspectives we bring, and what we can achieve when we work as one.
That's how we keep building the European Cloud.

Rigid database bundles force you to make difficult compromises. Many cloud providers require you to upgrade your compute tier simply because you need more storage.
Our updated PostgreSQL and MySQL architecture changes that dynamic. You can now scale compute and storage y to match your precise workload requirements. This optimization ensures value market fit while maintaining affordable and predictable pricing.

We teamed up with Knowit for an internal hands-on UpCloud hackathon 💻
The brief was simple: pick an idea and see how far you could take it in an afternoon. Teams in Helsinki and Tampere put UpCloud services to work, building several working solutions in under three hours. No ence required. Just a starting point and a willingness to get building.
Thank you to everyone who took part, and to Knowit for organizing the afternoon with us! 🙌
