Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched a European Sovereign Cloud to enhance data security for users in Europe, operating independently from U.S. data centers. The initiative, driven by concerns over the U.S.

Cloud Act, includes the development of a data center in Brandenburg, Germany, and is backed by an investment exceeding 7.8 billion euros, with management by a German company to ensure compliance with European data sovereignty standards. Competitors like Microsoft and Google are also increasing their investments in European data infrastructure to address similar security needs.
