Chapter 5:
Implementation Roadmap: Sovereignty as Code
Step 1
(Standardize)
Adopt the Percona Distribution to ensure binary parity across all environments.
Step 2
(Externalize)
IMove your secrets, keys, and telemetry out of the vendor’s managed services and into your own managed tools (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, PMM).
Step 3
(Automate)
Choose your path. Build your Ansible playbooks for server clusters or deploy Percona Operators for K8s environments.
Step 4
(Validate)
Run a "Control Plane Failure" test. If you can still manage, backup, and restore your database while the cloud provider's console is unreachable, you have achieved sovereignty.
