The Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) of Sri Lanka has unveiled a duo of forward-thinking draft policy documents that propose a significant shift in the nation's digital infrastructure strategy.
The basis of the proposal is a government-regulated, private-sector-operated sovereign cloud, designed to bolster local innovation while fostering trusted international collaboration.
In a move to modernise its digital economy, Sri Lanka is looking to avoid the common pitfalls of fragmented, state-run data centres, which often struggle with scalability and keeping pace with rapid technological advancements.
The proposed strategy titled 'Towards a Sovereign Cloud Strategy for Sri Lanka' advocates for an open and competitive ecosystem. This model encourages investment from both local and international private sector entities, including global hyperscale cloud providers, all within a robust regulatory framework that safeguards national data.
