AWS has introduced the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, featuring a new EU-controlled parent company and Security Operations Center. This initiative aims to launch its first region in Brandenburg, Germany, by 2025 and adhere to EU's stringent digital sovereignty laws. The structure will include operations managed exclusively by EU residents and will ensure that customer data remains within the EU while maintaining the performance and innovation that AWS is known for. This move underscores AWS's commitment to addressing data privacy concerns fueled by extraterritorial laws such as the U.S. CLOUD Act.
The new AWS European Sovereign Cloud will have a dedicated parent company and security center, governed by EU laws, demonstrating a strong commitment to data sovereignty.
AWS's 'sovereign-by-design' concept allows customers to maintain control over their data's location and movement, addressing concerns raised by U.S. laws like the CLOUD Act.
With operations exclusively managed by EU residents, this new structure ensures customer data and metadata are kept within the EU, enhancing data privacy and sovereignty.
Kathrin Renz will lead the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, highlighting a strategic shift in governance towards stronger local management and compliance with European regulations.
