Summary
Amazon is launching an independent cloud service for Europe, called Amazon Web Services European Sovereign Cloud, which will be separate from its other cloud operations. The new cloud system aims to meet Europe's strict data privacy rules and the region's push for "digital sovereignty." Customers will have control over their data and only EU-resident AWS employees will have access to operations and support. This move by Amazon is seen as an attempt to address concerns about data storage and access by non-European entities.
