“With the European Sovereign Ccloud, we have the ability to run AWS services that are inside the Region without any dependency”, Rodrigue Vitini 

This interview in my YouTube podcast was very special. I had the honour of speaking with Rodrigue Vitini, the Digital Sovereignty Specialist Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Berlin. During this interview, we discussed the recently launched AWS European Sovereign Cloud, 

Rodrigue explained that “sovereign-by-design” is not a slogan. It’s an architectural decision.

“We've designed AWS to be sovereign- by- design. Concretely the customer has the control to select a Rregion where they can use the cloud. We have six Regions in the European Union today plus the European Sovereign Cloud now. We have over 200+ services being provided and the data would remain in the Region.”

Explaining the implication of EU having its own data cloud, Rodrigue explains:

“One of the requirements was to reduce dependencies with global endpoints. If there's an, even for whatever exceptional circumstances, event where Europe will be cut off from the rest of the world, that cloud has the ability to work autonomously because it is independent - separated physically and logically. We've also integrated operational autonomy in terms of having a team of EU residents.”

The AWS European Sovereign Cloud delivers the Digital Ssovereignty Pledge made by CEO Matt Garman in November 2022 where AWS commits to offering customers the most advanced set of sovereignty controls and features available in the cloud that essentially gives control and more choice without compromise on the full power of AWS to the users.

Stay tuned for the full episode to be live on my YouTube channel.
