First previewed on stage at Civo Navigate London, the new Civo dashboard is now in beta, and getting to it just got a lot easier. Starting today, you'll see a Try it now banner at the top of your current dashboard at dashboard.civo.com. Click it to head to the new dashboard, sign in with your usual Civo account details, and you're in. You can also go directly to dashboard-manager.civo.com. Look for the Try it now banner in your current dashboard.

The conversation around sovereign cloud in India is getting louder, which is welcome, but as more providers enter the space, I keep seeing the same architectural pattern, and it's worth being direct about what it misses. The pattern is familiar... take a cloud platform, host it in India, manage it end to end, call it sovereign, and let data residency carry the rest of the argument. That works for web apps and standard enterprise workloads.

This week marks the end of our fourth Civo Navigate London event, and it feels like a good moment to say that this one had a slightly different energy from the ones before it. Over the past four years, we have hosted 10 Civo Navigate events across North America, India, and Europe, and each one has taught us something new about what this community actually wants from a day like this. London 2026 was no exception, and I think this year's lineup pushed that a little further than usual.

The Civo Community Slack has become home to over 35,000 engineers, platform teams, students, and practitioners. It’s one of the things we’re most proud of, a genuine space where the people who use Civo and the people who built Civo are in the same room. Since starting the Civo Community Slack, we’ve shipped an entirely new brand, launched Konstruct, and expanded our AI infrastructure.

If you've ever inherited a cluster that nobody fully understands, or watched two teams solve the same infrastructure problem in completely different ways, you've already felt the cost of not having a template strategy. It's not always dramatic; it starts with a different CNI here, a missing cert-manager version there, but it compounds. Six months later, cluster configuration is tribal knowledge, and the platform team has become the bottleneck.

London has spent decades establishing itself as one of the world’s major technology hubs. Its strength comes from the concentration of AI and technology startups, financial services and fintech, highly regulated industries, universities and research institutions, international businesses and technology companies, alongside a large community of developers and engineers.

The sovereign cloud conversation has been dominated by physical location and legal jurisdiction. Both matter. But there's a third leg most discussions skip: the software stack itself. If the platform running a sovereign cloud is proprietary code controlled by a company in another country, its sovereignty has a soft underside.

As businesses evolve in today’s digital landscape, the need for efficient and scalable computing resources has become paramount. In the early days of the Internet, large corporations would build or rent out large data centers to run their applications and serve customers. This was great as they could use dedicated hardware and expand as they pleased.

The compliance question isn't "are we using a private cloud?" Rather, it’s "does our private cloud actually do what compliance requires?" Private cloud has a reputation for solving compliance problems that it doesn't always deserve. The logic seems straightforward: keep data off shared public infrastructure, maintain more direct control, and satisfy the auditors.

The 14 Cloud Security Principles from the UK's National Cyber Security Centre form the primary framework for UK public sector cloud procurement and, increasingly, for private sector regulated workloads. Any credible cloud security case in the UK context has to address these principles explicitly. For organizations placing workloads on sovereign cloud specifically, the mapping matters more than for general cloud procurement.

Your data sits in the UK. But who has the final say over it? As AI raises the stakes on where data lives and who controls it, digital sovereignty has moved from policy debate to boardroom priority. At Civo Navigate London, Lord Paul Drayson, Simon Hansford, Richard Woodfield of DataVita, Dan Chester of VAST Data and Ed Barker of Havishams explore what sovereignty really means for governments, businesses and the infrastructure behind them, and what it will take for the UK to adopt AI without giving up control.

Your AI agent can read every log, metric and trace in seconds. It still can't tell you why things broke. At Civo Navigate London, James Herbert of groundcover explains why AI SRE agents need that context to travel the whole development lifecycle. He shows how agents embedded in the tools where software is built and run can move from isolated tasks to investigating and acting with the full picture.

The data centre was built for a different era. Racks drawing more power than entire rooms once did, heat that air alone can't carry away, and inference that needs to run close to the work are forcing a rethink from the ground up. In this fireside chat from Civo Navigate London, Civo CEO Mark Boost, Anthony Sarno and Josh Mesout explore how the demands of AI are reshaping the data centre and challenging traditional approaches to cloud infrastructure.

Everyone depends on open source. Far fewer agree on who should sustain it, what counts as "open", or what portability really means.

Your infrastructure lives everywhere. Your view of it shouldn't. Civo CTO Dinesh Majrekar gives the first look at the new Civo dashboard. It's built around one idea: however many regions, clusters or environments you run, managing them should feel like one cloud. Civo makes complexity a thing of the past.

At some point, you have to stop talking about it and start building it. Civo CEO Mark Boost unveils Civo's plan for the UK: 40 edge data centres with a combined gigawatt of capacity, built for low-latency inference and NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, the successor to Blackwell. Mark takes us inside a live digital twin of the rack. There are 72 GPUs wired so tightly together that they behave as a single machine, with so much power that the only answer is liquid in, liquid out. The rack is the computer.

Hardware costs are rising. But Civo Product Director Russ Smith has a different take: your existing kit just became more valuable. The hyperscalers competing for the same DRAM and compute as you still have to pass that cost on eventually. At high utilisation rates, your resource rental overtakes purchase cost. Typically in under a year.

Your Claude session cost $20. Shipping it safely shouldn't cost you a weekend. Vibe coders can build the app. Most can't deploy it without leaving the door open. Konstruct handles the infra, the Kubernetes, the "please don't get hacked" part, so your lazy Saturday idea gets to survive contact with the internet.

Raise your hand if your AWS cluster and your GCP cluster don't actually look the same That's the default, but it doesn't have to be. Watch Rishi show what "actually the same" looks like in practice.

The cloud first default has flipped. But every workload decision now needs to be made more deliberately. Civo Product Director Russ Smith shares his key takeaway: understand your legal constraints, know your lock-in maths, and check whether the economics that made sense three, five, or ten years ago still hold up today. You don't need to fund a new platform. You need a managed sovereign place for your data that actually fits where you are now.
