Why moving workloads to AWS EU Sovereign Cloud matters now

European executives are facing a new reality. Digital transformation can no longer be separated from data sovereignty. Regulatory expectations are rising, customers are paying attention to where their data lives, and boards increasingly ask the same question: Do we truly control our data? AWS EU Sovereign Cloud is designed to answer that question.

Why a European sovereign cloud matters

It enables organizations to run workloads in a cloud environment where data residency, operational control, and access governance are anchored in the EU.

For leaders in regulated industries or organizations handling sensitive or critical data, this is not just a technical detail. It is a strategic safeguard.

Key benefits

Clear data residency: Data stays within EU‑based regions, under EU legal frameworks.
Enhanced security posture: Strong separation of duties, strict access controls, and cloud‑native security services.
Regulatory confidence: Designed to support compliance with GDPR and evolving European regulatory requirements.
Business continuity with control: You keep the agility of AWS while gaining increased transparency and governance.

Security is the core

Security in a sovereign cloud is about more than encryption and certifications. It’s about knowing:

Where your data is stored
Who can access it
How changes are governed and audited

This is what builds resilience, reduces complexity and strengthens long term trust. Without this, cloud adoption becomes a risk instead of a strategic advantage.
