⭐ Good Practice Description:
SUNFISH prototyped and demonstrated the secure interoperation of separate cloud systems using a federation-as-a-service approach. This approach goes beyond the adoption of interoperability standards, since those standards are still a work in progress.
Success Factors:
| Data Governance | From a good-practice standpoint, Sunfish demonstrates a technical solution (distributed ledger technology – specifically, smart contracts) that can help solve a key problem of data governance – namely, automatically supporting data subjects (or data stewards acting on their behalf) in responding to requests to access or exchange private data. |

Strategic Goals
Today the European Public Sector Players lack the necessary infrastructure and technology to allow them to integrate their computing clouds. Furthermore, legislative barriers often make it difficult to use available commercial technological solutions. The SUNFISH project aims to provide a specific and new solution to face these issues.
Solutions Developed / Used
SUNFISH will enable the secure federation of private clouds based on the Public Sector needs: federated private clouds belonging to different Public Sector Entities will be able to share data and services transparently, while maintaining required security levels.
