AWS is establishing an independent European governance structure for its European Sovereign Cloud, launching a new region in Brandenburg, Germany, by the end of 2025. This initiative aims to meet stringent digital sovereignty requirements, ensuring that customer data remains within the EU and is managed by EU-based personnel, while also providing a comprehensive suite of AWS services. The move reflects a broader trend in Europe towards technological sovereignty and reducing reliance on non-European cloud providers.

AWS has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Strategic Cloud Platform Services for the fifteenth consecutive year, recognized for its ability to execute and commitment to innovation. Gartner highlighted AWS's strengths, including its large cloud community, custom silicon designs, and global operational capabilities, which facilitate enterprise digital transformation. The report serves as a guide for organizations in choosing cloud providers that can drive innovation.
