Sovereignty

Sovereignty Models

Three distinct arrangements exist, each corresponding to different levels of operational maturity, capital availability, and risk tolerance. An organisation may select the model appropriate to its current circumstances; transition between models is supported but never required.

Shared Infrastructure

Operation proceeds on the OpenBSD tilde community — production-grade servers where teams may learn administration in live environments with minimal initial investment. Suitable for evaluation, training, and low-criticality operations.

Hosted Sovereignty

Deployment on dedicated virtual machines or bare metal within managed facilities, maintaining full root access and custom configurations. The client controls the software stack while physical security and network operations remain managed by the provider. Suitable for production workloads without immediate capital expenditure or facilities management.

Complete Autonomy

Deployment on client premises with comprehensive documentation, training programmes, and automated tooling that enable the team to assume total control. The client owns the complete stack — hardware, software, and operational expertise. Suitable for organisations requiring full custody and long-term independence.

The appropriate model is determined by organisational readiness rather than any prescribed sequence. Further detail on each arrangement is available here.
