Make cloud portability easier
Moving data and workloads between providers can require provider-specific tools and specialist knowledge. Merops aims to make that work easier through a shared interface and clear provider guides. It also helps teams discover European cloud providers as part of a more sovereign European digital ecosystem. European sovereignty is a project objective. A provider choice alone does not guarantee data residency, legal compliance, or that every part of a deployment is hosted in Europe. Check each service’s regions, contract, and deployment configuration.Current implementation
Merops is designed to support cloud resources broadly. The current implementation focuses on object storage: connect a provider, browse buckets and objects, preview files, create a destination bucket, migrate objects, or synchronize buckets. See service compatibility and the provider guides. Database, compute, networking, containers, and functions such as Lambda are future service categories; they are not available through the current Merops workflows.Object storage terms
- A bucket is a named container in an object storage service. Azure uses the term container.
- An object is a file and its metadata stored in a bucket.
- A migration copies objects from one source bucket to a destination bucket.
- Synchronization compares and copies objects according to a direction. Strict synchronization can delete destination-only objects; use it carefully.
