Entitled "La souveraineté numérique, pilier et défi pour la construction du cloud défense français", it is available in the March 2025 issue of the Revue Défense nationale.
Since the 2010s, the French armed forces have been planning to develop a defence cloud to manage their Information Systems (IS) and respond to the massification of digital data. While it is mainly the Dirisi (Direction interarmées des réseaux d'infrastructures et des systèmes d'information) that will orchestrate the migration of the ministry's IS to the cloud, the ministry will also have to turn to private service providers. This raises the issue of guaranteeing the security of its data. To meet these requirements, there is talk of developing a "sovereign" defence cloud.
