Cloud Engines — Sovereign cloud for AIware.
Developer: DFINITY Foundation · Category: AI · Last updated: September 2026
Cloud Engines are virtual compute platforms created by combining geographically distributed replica nodes through a mathematically secure network protocol. Applications get a tamperproof, fault-tolerant place to run that keeps working even when individual nodes fail, and the platform handles scaling and data persistence rather than leaving them to the developer. Sovereignty is the point: you choose the nodes, the providers and the countries they sit in, so there is no vendor lock-in. Open Cloud is operated by the DFINITY Foundation on the Internet Computer, and is aimed at AIware, meaning AI-native business software written by coding agents in Motoko.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a cloud engine?
- A virtual compute platform created by combining geographically distributed replica nodes through a mathematically secure network protocol. Applications keep running even if some nodes fail, and scaling and data persistence are handled for you.
- What does sovereign mean here?
- You choose the replica nodes. They combine over the internet into one tamperproof platform, so you pick the providers and the countries they sit in rather than accepting a single vendor's.
- What is AIware?
- AI-native business software written by coding agents in Motoko: accounting, HR, expenses, CRM and the like, built by agents rather than hand-coded.
