Sovereign Cloud Is Not On Premises
Sovereign cloud is a legal boundary drawn around someone else's computer; on premises, done properly, is the computer being yours with zero data egress and a cryptographic audit record anyone can verify offline. For regulated buyers, that is the difference between a control you can evidence and a promise you have to trust.Originally published at https://mickai.co.uk/articles/sovereign-cloud-is-not-on-prem. Mickai is a Sovereign Intelligence Operating System; the Open Audit Record signs every artificial intelligence action before it executes, post-quantum and offline-verifiable.
