Phase 2:
Establish Technical Control (Days 30 to 60)
Shift operational authority to the organization by deploying automation inside your infrastructure.
- Deploy Portable Automation: Implement a portable lifecycle framework. This includes using Kubernetes Operators or equivalent automation on standard compute to handle provisioning and scaling independent of vendor control planes.
- Enforce Sovereignty as Code: Use scheduling constraints and configuration management to pin data and backups exclusively to approved jurisdictions.
- Externalize Encryption: Implement "Hold Your Own Key" (HYOK) architectures where encryption keys are customer-controlled and remain outside the database vendor’s reach.
- Percona Advantage: Percona provides the flexibility to build your way. You can use operators, use servers, or use both. Percona solutions provide managed service automation (self-healing, scaling, and backups) while keeping the control layer entirely in your hands.
