AWS European Sovereign Cloud to be operated by EU citizens


With the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, we are providing customers with a new, independent AWS Cloud which will serve the emerging digital sovereignty needs of highly regulated industries and public sector customers in Europe.

We continue to offer customers more choice and control, so that they don't have to compromise on the full power of AWS to spark innovation, drive economic growth, and strengthen cybersecurity protection. We are committed to supporting any employees impacted by this transition, and redeploying builders who do not meet the EU citizen eligibility requirement into other roles within Amazon. This initiative, which is backed by a €7.8 billion investment through 2040, represents our deep commitment to meeting Europe's evolving digital sovereignty needs.
