Amazon has launched its new 'sovereign cloud' service in Europe, a move aimed at maintaining its position among the leading providers of cloud computing services in the region. This launch comes as the European Union tightens its regulations on tech giants. Currently, the EU is pressuring companies operating within the bloc to strictly comply with data protection and privacy laws, amid growing concerns over the dominance of tech companies. The concept of a 'sovereign cloud' refers to cloud computing services whose data is stored and managed within a specific jurisdiction, without being transferred or made available outside its borders, thereby ensuring the sovereignty of a state or regional bloc over sensitive data.
