- AWS launches a sovereign 'European Cloud' offering
- This service will be independent logically and physically
- It will be run exclusively by EU citizens and comply with EU regulation
Amazon Web Service (AWS) has announced the launch of AWS European Sovereign Cloud - an independent cloud, separate both logically and physically and located exclusively within the EU.
To execute this, Amazon has created a new parent company with three local subsidiaries - all led by EU citizens, compliant with European laws, and focused on delivering full compliance and transparency within cloud services.
This is a huge step for AWS users in Europe, as the difference between EU regulations and US laws has become chasmic, especially given the strict requirements of GDPR and NIST - as well as the current US administration’s commitment to tech deregulation and attitude toward AI.
