Red Hat calls for stronger AI platform sovereignty
Red Hat argues that keeping AI services within national borders is insufficient for digital sovereignty. The company says true AI sovereignty requires strong separation between tenants on shared platforms, ensuring control over data, models, and the ability to exit a provider without disruption. This approach aims to address regulatory demands for provable data isolation, cyber resilience, and interoperability, which Red Hat notes many current AI platforms do not meet.
- Red Hat outlines four pillars for AI sovereignty
- Regulators demand provable data and workload isolation
- Exit plans and interoperability are now legal expectations
- Proprietary tooling can undermine sovereignty goals

Google Cloud SQL Server Migration Skips User Logins
If you migrate a SQL Server database to Google Cloud SQL using their Database Migration Service, your data goes over—but user logins don’t. That’s on purpose, says Google: DMS deliberately doesn’t copy server logins for security and compliance reasons. If you want your applications to connect, you’ll have to migrate those logins manually with standard SQL Server tools.
