  "description": "Sovereign Cloud Stack (SCS) is a community-driven initiative focused on actively implementing digital sovereignty in cloud infrastructures through openness, transparency, and neutrality. It provides open-source standards and a blueprint for building and operating highly available, secure, and sovereign cloud and container platforms based on technologies like OpenStack and Kubernetes. The SCS Summit serves as its central meeting point for community exchange and collaboration.",
