Amazon Web Services launched a new independent cloud service aiming to address European customer concerns around digital sovereignty last week.The AWS European Sovereign Cloud data center is located in Brandenburg, Germany, with plans for additional facilities in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Portugal. The AWS European Sovereign Cloud provides access to 90 AWS services but is “physically and logically separate” from AWS’s existing public cloud Regions.AWS established a new legal entity to operate the European Sovereign Cloud under a separate governance and operational model. The new company is incorporated in Germany and run exclusively by EU residents. Do you think that AWS should be partially owned by European governmenst to address sovereignty concerns?
