Amazon Web Services (AWS) is investing €7.8 billion to create a fully independent cloud infrastructure in Europe, known as AWS European Sovereign Cloud, by 2025. This initiative responds to rising demands for digital sovereignty and strict regulations like GDPR by ensuring data residency and operational autonomy within the EU. Starting with a region in Brandenburg, Germany, AWS's Sovereign Cloud will provide essential services while guaranteeing that all customer data remains within the EU and is managed by EU-resident employees, enhancing security and compliance for public sector organizations and regulated industries. This move comes as competitors also introduce sovereign cloud solutions in Europe.
AWS's investment in a European Sovereign Cloud addresses Europe's need for digital sovereignty while complying with stringent local laws and regulations.
The initiative answers EU's demand for local cloud solutions amid strict regulations like GDPR and enhances operational autonomy for organizations.
AWS aims to ensure data residency while delivering the same performance and security that customers have come to expect from its services.
Through multiple Availability Zones, AWS's Sovereign Cloud promises resilience and operational independence, even during major disruptions.
