AWS parades orgs that took up its offer for Euro Sovereign Cloud
AWS has introduced its European Sovereign Cloud, aimed at providing a secure platform for sensitive data within the EU. Several organizations, including University Hospital Essen and Schufa, have signed up to utilize this service for various applications, from healthcare to credit scoring.

- ▪AWS's European Sovereign Cloud became available to customers in January 2026.
- ▪Organizations using the service include University Hospital Essen, Schufa, and Diehl Metering.
- ▪The service is designed to meet German and European sovereignty expectations for data handling.
