Cloudogu: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Cloudogu is a German company from Braunschweig that provides the Cloudogu EcoSystem, a platform for operating, deploying and migrating tool stacks used in software development and IT operations. According to the website, the platform supports AI-assisted operations and can run tool stacks in a public cloud, on-premises or in air-gapped environments. The company was founded in 2014 and also offers training on Kubernetes and Docker.

Cloudogu GmbH has its place of business in Braunschweig, Germany. Its owners and managing directors could not be verified from the sources consulted, so no foreign parent company has been identified. Because the platform can run on a customer's own infrastructure, including air-gapped environments, it suits organisations that want to keep control of their tooling. The pages reviewed do not say where any managed service is hosted, and they contain no GDPR statement or data processing agreement, so these points should be requested before purchase.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Cloudogu

Cloudogu is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Cloudogu scores best on data residency.

Cloudogu is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Cloudogu together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
