OVHcloud and Sopra Steria deploy Landing Zone for public sector

OVHcloud and Sopra Steria have announced a joint project to design and deploy a Landing Zone tailored to the public sector, initially adapted to meet Canadian sovereignty and security requirements.

• Main announcement: The Landing Zone delivers an automatic-compliance deployment that meets Canadian public-sector sovereignty and security standards; a compliance report is generated at deployment, and an operational, compliant environment can be provisioned in under an hour (the article notes deployment can be ready in half an hour, with 30–40% of security requirements deployed automatically).
• Implementation details and background: The solution is implemented as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform / OpenTofu, is modular with three base profiles (small business, medium, government), and pairs OVHcloud infrastructure with Professional Services & partners for audits, governance policies (IAM, incident management, continuity), and onboarding; interested teams are directed to OVHcloud Professional Services for engagement.
