In this talk, you’ll get some guidance for situations where you want to use a managed Kubernetes provider, but you cannot use American based hyperscalers.

At first, we take a look at different scenarios where this might happen – ranging from cases of the banking and insurance industry to manufacturing and data simulations. The underlying reasons can be manifold:

• you have high security needs
• you look for a provider that uses a sovereign software stack
• you want to process sensitive data

We compare existing alternatives in the European market with regard to features, ease of use, security, performance and price.
