The Slovak government cloud is turning into reality after years of discussion: the first projects are running, others are being prepared, and the architecture is shifting toward a standardized hybrid model. Alongside the private part under the aegis of the Ministry of Interior, the use of the public (commercial) cloud through centralized procurement is also ramping up. The main themes are containerization, a service catalog, and measuring operating costs.

Where we are: hybrid government cloud in practice

MIRRI has launched a dynamic purchasing system for cloud and allocated funds from the Recovery Plan to the public part of the government cloud. Currently, nine organizations have projects in the public cloud implemented or underway, and roughly 25 further requests are in advanced negotiation. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Interior has expanded the private part with the first PaaS services and is piloting a container platform for “cloud-ready” applications.

NASES acts as an operator and onboarding partner—building DevOps competencies, standardizing new systems on containers and Kubernetes, and focusing on the renewal of the central components of ÚPVS. The goal is greater scalability, security, and reduced dependence on a single supplier in the 24/7 operation of key services.
