Amazon Web Services European Sovereign Cloud will be located within Europe and will be separate to the U.S. technology giant's other cloud operations.
The launch of the new cloud system underscores the need for businesses to meet Europe's strict data privacy rules as well as the region's push for so-called "digital sovereignty."The Amazon Web Services logo, a subsidiary of Amazon that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms to individuals, companies, and governments, displayed during the Mobile World Congress 2023 on March 2, 2023, in Barcelona, Spain.
"Customers will have the control and assurance that AWS will not access or use customer data for any purpose without their agreement, as well as access to the strongest sovereignty controls among leading cloud providers," Amazon said in a statement. The idea of digital sovereignty, while not well-defined, broadly relates to a bid by the EU to boost European-developed critical technology and have strict rules over the storage and transfer of data.
