AWS CEO Matt Garman announced Amazon's launch of a “European Sovereign Cloud,” described as a significant investment aimed at complying with EU regulations. This cloud service will be distinct and managed locally, addressing concerns over data sovereignty. Amazon plans to invest 7.8 billion euros in this initiative by 2040 and is expanding it to several EU countries. Despite regulatory scrutiny, AWS remains a major player in Europe's cloud market.
