AWS has announced the development of a European Sovereign Cloud, a new European region that will be operationally independent of all other AWS regions. The new cloud option will target government agencies and regulated industries that store sensitive data and run critical workloads in the European Union (EU).
According to the press release, the new region will function in the future as the parent region for "sovereign" AWS Outposts and Dedicated Local Zones, to improve isolation and in-country data residency.
In a popular Reddit thread, developers acknowledge and appreciate the benefits of the new operating model but question if the CLOUD Act can still challenge the new region, being Amazon EU a subsidiary of an American company.
