The AWS ESC is designed to meet the sovereignty, security, and regulatory requirements of European governments, public sector organizations, and regulated industries. Key characteristics include EU data residency, operational independence, high assurance security controls, and support for regulated workloads including government, defense, healthcare, and financial services.
“CIS is proud to be a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud,” said Curt Dukes, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Security Best Practices at CIS. “By delivering our CIS Hardened Images, we are embedding security best practices directly into the foundation of this new environment., helping European organizations adopt the cloud securely, confidently, and at speed.”
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud infrastructure will be entirely located within the EU and operated independently from existing Regions. Only AWS employees residing in the EU will control day‑to‑day operations, including access to data centers, technical support, and customer service for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud.
