As well-meaning as AWS undoubtedly is, I don't think they can meaningfully guarantee data sovereignty in the EU. This is legally untested.

Microsoft said as much in evidence to a French Senate committee back in June.

No, but the EU can provide norms for what constitutes sovereign which by construction do not grant AWS a path to the data.

Microsoft does not have a sovereign offering that I know of. Those are hard to meet norms.

They do have an EU sovereign offering, that’s specifically what they were being grilled about.
