ayedo Shows What Resilient Infrastructure Should Look Like

The recent outages of central internet services have not only disrupted websites and APIs. They have revealed a structural problem that has been emerging for years: Europe’s digital economy builds on infrastructures that are globally distributed but centrally controlled. When such platforms waver, it’s not just a tool that stands still – it shows how fragile the basic supply really is.

In such moments, it becomes clear what many companies push aside: they operate software, but they do not own their operational stability. Resilience does not arise through trust in large platforms, but through architectural control. And precisely here, ayedo delivers an approach that thinks of the term “infrastructure” more technically and more European than most providers in the market.

Resilience Is an Architectural Principle – Not a Feature

Many companies view resilience as an add-on: backups, failover, monitoring. In reality, resilience begins much earlier – with the building blocks from which infrastructure is created.

ayedo focuses on three core elements:

1. Open standards instead of proprietary dependencies
2. Workload portability instead of binding to APIs of individual providers
3. Operations according to uniform principles, independent of the underlying infrastructure

This combination is the essential difference between redundant and resilient. Redundancy means: We have a copy. Resilience means: We function even if an entire ecosystem fails.

This is the standard that is missing today – and that ayedo systematically implements.

Technical Foundation: True Portability Through Kubernetes

ayedo builds every platform on Kubernetes – but not as a product, but as a universal layer that abstracts infrastructure. The advantages arise not through Kubernetes alone, but through the consistency with which ayedo implements it:

1. Identical Deployments on Every Provider

• OCI-compliant containers
• Helm/CRI-O/containerd standards
• GitOps as a binding mechanism
• Reproducible deployments without proprietary APIs

The application does not “know” where it is running. It doesn’t need to know.

2. Uniform Security Stack

• Signed container images
• SBOM generation across all artifacts
• Admission controllers for policy enforcement
• Standardized hardening processes per cluster

As a result, no security gap arises between European data centers and clouds.

3. Infrastructure as Code – Completely Exportable

All resources are described declaratively. A customer can at any time:

• define clusters
• map networks
• migrate storage classes
• transfer policies
• export CI/CD pipelines

This exit capability is not a minor feature, but part of the design.

Multi-Layered Resilience: From Network to Application Layer

A decisive point: many incidents of recent years affected not compute, but surrounding infrastructure: DNS, routing, CDN, security layers, identity services.

ayedo therefore builds resilience not only into compute clusters, but into all relevant levels.

DNS and Routing

• Multi-region DNS
• geographically redundant resolvers
• no dependency on a single global provider
• own IP prefixes for migration-capable network architecture
• Anycast and failover setups that work across providers

If a global DNS service wavers, the deliverability of services remains.

Edge and Security Layer

ayedo operates its own edge setup:

• WAF
• DDoS protection
• global load balancing
• traffic shaping
• multi-provider TLS termination

This makes the security perimeter independent of the compute provider.

Storage and Backups

• S3-compatible object storage in Europe
• Long-term backups of up to 50 TB daily
• encrypted replication
• restore scenarios documented independently of providers
• snapshots not tied to hyper-specific APIs

Many companies fail during outages not on compute – but because their data is tied to proprietary storage. At ayedo, storage is portable.

Observability and Predictability

Resilience does not arise through reaction, but through recognizing patterns.

ayedo focuses on:

• 46 million active time series
• 1.7 million measurement points per second
• 15 billion logs – GDPR compliant, structured, analyzable
• MTTD under 5 minutes
• Anomaly detection based on long-term metrics
• synthetic monitoring across regions
• automated root-cause hypotheses in early alerts

Thus, ayedo detects outages before the first users notice them.

Regulatory Stability: Technical Resilience Meets Compliance

Resilience does not end with technology. For regulated industries, the ability to remain operational, to document, and to audit is part of the same requirement.

ayedo fulfills all EU regulations for this:

• GDPR with EU data storage, BYOK/HSM, privacy-by-design
• NIS2 with 24/7 incident response, patch processes, BCP/DR
• DORA with exit strategies, third-party risk management, TLPT readiness
• CRA with full supply chain documentation
• Cloud Sovereignty Framework up to SEAL-4

This means: resilience at ayedo is legally, technically, and operationally secured.

The Decisive Point: ayedo Is Not a Replacement, but a Stability Layer

ayedo is not a competitor to existing clouds. ayedo is the layer that makes these clouds usable, interchangeable, and resilient.

The company offers:

• operation on over a dozen European and international providers
• on-premises operation for critical industries
• hybrid architectures
• multi-cloud, without customers having to bear multi-cloud complexity
• SLA-driven around-the-clock operation
• uniform observability across all systems
• full technical and operational sovereignty

In short: ayedo takes the risk of concentration away from companies – without taking away the scalability of modern infrastructure.

Why It Is Becoming Clear Now What Resilient Infrastructure Should Look Like

Because the outages have shown that stability does not arise from size. Because Europe operates in a geopolitical situation where digital control is a security policy issue. Because companies that develop software are not capable of acting in an emergency if their infrastructure fails uncontrollably.

Resilience means:

• Workloads continue to run, even if a provider fails.
• Data remains in Europe, even if international frameworks flip.
• Platforms can be moved without having to rebuild them.
• Operations are traceable, auditable, and independent.

ayedo shows exactly this form of infrastructure – reliable because it is open, stable because it is portable, sovereign because it is not determined by a single provider.

This is resilience as Europe needs it. Now, not eventually.
