Amazon.com Inc.’s Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced on
Thursday the launch of the European Sovereign Cloud, an indepfinishent
cloud infrastructure located entirely within the European Union
(EU). The new cloud is designed to be physically and logically
separate from other AWS regions, ensuring enhanced data sovereignty
and compliance, Azernews reports, citing foreign
media.
AWS also revealed plans to expand the European Sovereign Cloud
footprint from Germany across the EU, aiming to meet strict
requirements for data isolation, in-counattempt residency, and low
latency. The expansion will launch with new sovereign AWS Local
Zones in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Portugal.
The company announced it plans to invest over €7.8 billion in
the AWS European Sovereign Cloud in Germany alone, creating and
supporting an estimated 2,800 full-time equivalent jobs annually.
Stefan Hoechbauer, Vice President of AWS Global Sales for Germany
and Central Europe, has been appointed as managing director of the
AWS European Sovereign Cloud.
The launch of a sovereign cloud reflects a broader trfinish in
Europe toward data localization and digital indepfinishence, as
governments and companies increasingly prioritize the security and
control of sensitive information. Analysts note that such
initiatives could reshape the competitive landscape of cloud
services in Europe, encouraging local innovation while reducing
depfinishence on global cloud infrastructure.
