AWS Outlines Independent Governance Structure for European Sovereign Cloud
AWS has announced an independent governance structure for its AWS European Sovereign Cloud, to ensure the cloud is “built, operated, controlled, and secured in Europe.” The undertaking involves “creation of a dedicated Security Operations Center and the establishment of a new parent company for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud that will be locally controlled in the European Union (EU), led by EU citizens, and subject to local laws.”
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud, which is intended for launch by the end of 2025, was developed to comply with EU regulatory, data privacy, and operational requirements and is “backed by strong technical controls, sovereign assurances, and legal protections,” the announcement states.
“We’ve designed the AWS European Sovereign Cloud to address European digital sovereignty requirements while maintaining the services portfolio, security, reliability, and performance that customers expect from AWS," said Kathrin Renz, managing director of AWS European Sovereign Cloud.
