SAP Webinar – Advancing the Multi-Provider Cloud-Edge Continuum
The SAP Open Source Program Office will host a public session on the Apeiro Reference Architecture (ApeiroRA)—a key strategic contribution to the 8ra Initiative and the broader IPCEI-CIS framework. ApeiroRA is designed to support the creation of an open, federated cloud-edge infrastructure through modular architecture, open standards, and transparent governance.
The webinar will also introduce the NeoNephos Foundation, newly hosted by Linux Foundation Europe, which will serve as a neutral platform for long-term cross-industry collaboration.
Speakers:
- Peter Giese, SAP
- Vasu Chandrasekhara, SAP
This session will highlight how shared standards and open ecosystems can accelerate the development of sovereign digital infrastructure across Europe.
