The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is now generally available, marking a decisive milestone for digital sovereignty in Europe. The cloud infrastructure is fully designed, built, and operated within the EU. It is physically and logically separated from existing AWS regions and meets the highest standards for data residency, compliance, and regulatory control without compromising security, performance, or innovation.
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is a fully featured and independently operated sovereign cloud. Its operations are subject to strict technical and organizational controls, as well as clearly defined legal safeguards, specifically tailored to the needs of European businesses and public institutions. Day-to-day operations, from data center access to technical support and customer service, are handled exclusively by AWS employees based in the EU. As with existing AWS regions, customers maintain control and can be confident that AWS does not access customer data or use it for any other purposes without explicit consent.
We are proud to support European organizations as an AWS European Sovereign Cloud Launch Partner from day one, helping them use modern cloud technologies safely, legally, and sovereignly. With our extensive AWS expertise, we help companies lay a solid foundation for their digital transformation.
“Over the years, I’ve seen countless ‘local’ cloud initiatives fall short of delivering true hyperscale performance. That’s why the launch of AWS European Sovereign Cloud is such a pivotal moment for Europe. It provides fully independent European infrastructure, guaranteeing data residency and operational autonomy under EU regulations—while delivering the hyperscale capabilities our customers rely on,” emphasizes Rachel Linnemann, CEO of tecRacer.
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud sends a strong signal for Europe’s digital self-determination. It provides the foundation to align regulatory requirements, technological excellence, and innovation, both for businesses and public institutions.
In our blog post, we share an honest first impression of the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, including the currently available services and pricing compared with established AWS regions. We are happy to discuss with you the role sovereign cloud infrastructures can play for your organization and how data sovereignty can be practically implemented with AWS and tecRacer.
