Who really controls your data?

Digital sovereignty has moved from buzzword to boardroom priority. But most organisations are still asking the wrong question. Civo CEO Mark Boost cuts through the noise. Digital sovereignty isn't about marketing; it's about jurisdiction, accountability, and operational certainty. And it starts with where your data is hosted and how it's processed. Civo's UK Sovereign Cloud delivers public cloud, private cloud, and AI services, hosted and operated exclusively within the United Kingdom, under UK legal authority, with no exposure to foreign control.

Sovereign GPU cloud: Data residency across training, inference, and model weights

Sovereign cloud conversations usually center on where customer data sits at rest. The provider points at a UK data center, the contract gets signed, and procurement marks the box. For most workloads, that's a defensible position. For GPU workloads, it isn't.

GPU cloud for AI inference in production: How infrastructure requirements change after training

Training a model is a project with an end date. Inference is what happens for the rest of the model's working life. The two workloads share GPUs, frameworks, and a lot of vocabulary, but the infrastructure decisions that make sense during training are usually the wrong ones in production. Teams that treat inference as "training, but smaller" tend to discover the gap somewhere around their first traffic spike.

5 questions you should be asking about cloud dependency

Cloud infrastructure has become the backbone of modern business operations. But as organizations deepen their reliance on cloud providers, a critical question often goes unasked: just how dependent are we, and at what cost? For years, the cloud adoption narrative focused on agility, scalability, and cost efficiency. Those benefits remain real. But the landscape is shifting.

AI inference vs. training: What they are and how they differ

AI inference and training are terms you'd run into if you have been around software engineering or even just scrolled through the news. Both are integral to delivering the AI-powered experiences we have come to expect from many of the applications we use daily. According to McKinsey, by 2030 inference will overtake training as the dominant workload in AI data centers, making up more than half of all AI compute and roughly 30-40% of total data center demand.

21 AI concepts every beginner should know before their first interview

If you’re prepping for your first AI or MLOps interview, the hardest part usually isn’t always the hands-on element. For me, it’s the vocabulary. Interviewers sometimes lob single-word concepts at you (“what’s quantization?”) and watch how far you can carry the thread. The questions sound clear-cut, but each one is really a doorway into a bigger topic, and the interviewer is judging how cleanly you walk through it.

Blackwell sold out in weeks. Here's what Rubin demand will look like.

"Blackwell sales are off the charts, and cloud GPUs are sold out. Compute demand keeps accelerating and compounding across training and inference, each growing exponentially. We've entered the virtuous cycle of AI." Jensen Huang, CEO, NVIDIA When NVIDIA's CEO makes that statement in a quarterly earnings release, it is not marketing language.
