Today, AWS announced the general availability of a new, independent cloud for Europe. This new service is based entirely within the EU and operates independently from other AWS locations. Join Constellation Research analyst Holger Mueller in a conversation with Mustafa Isik, Chief Technologist for Sovereign Cloud at AWS, live from AWS re:Invent. They dive deep into the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, why it’s needed, and what it means for data residency, security, and AI in Europe.
Discover:
- Why AWS says it is “sovereign by design” and why that’s no longer enough for some EU customers
- The 7.8 billion euro investment behind the AWS European Sovereign Cloud
- Why the first sovereign “nucleus region” is being built in Brandenburg, Germany
- How AWS is delivering a full AWS region (not a lesser cloud) with the same services, APIs, SLAs, and resilience
- The shift to EU-based and eventually EU-passport-holding operators for sensitive workloads
- The new legal entity structure and what it means for compliance and control
- How AWS is handling global dependencies and source code access for true digital sovereignty
- Why generative AI services will be available from day one in the European Sovereign Cloud
If you care about digital sovereignty, regulated industries, public sector cloud, and AI in Europe, this conversation is a must-watch.
