Amazon is joining the list of big tech companies to introduce a dedicated independent cloud for Europe, with news that it’s working on the “AWS European Sovereign Cloud” for governments and highly-regulated industries across Europe.
AWS’s cloud rival Google partnered with Deutsche Telekom’s IT services and consulting subsidiary T-Systems more than two years ago to offer a sovereign cloud for German organizations, while Microsoft launched its “cloud for sovereignty” last year. And Oracle followed suit earlier this year.
