European organizations in highly regulated sectors, such as finance, healthcare, and the public sector, have faced the persistent challenge of balancing rapid innovation with strict digital sovereignty. To help address these needs, Red Hat is pleased to announce support for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) available as a foundational platform for sovereign workloads. What is the AWS European Sovereign Cloud? The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is a new, independent cloud infrastructure designed specifically for public sector organizations and customers in highly regulated industries and operated entirely by EU residents under EU law. A trusted foundation for sovereign innovation Digital sovereignty is not a single product, but an ongoing strategy that encompasses data and AI, technology and supply chain, operational and security, and compliance requirements. Choosing the right infrastructure is a critical first step. RHEL provides a more consistent and reliable foundation with enhanced security capabilities for organizations to build and scale applications across the hybrid cloud. As the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform, RHEL offers the stability and security features required to meet stringent jurisdictional requirements. Based on open source, it provides the transparency necessary for true sovereignty. By enabling customers to run RHEL on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, organizations can benefit from a streamlined path to build an environment in a sovereign cloud with a tailored, rigorous security footprint. Applications built on RHEL in existing AWS regions can also run on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, delivering greater consistency across environments. Whether your organization requires the specific isolation of a sovereign cloud or continues to use the sovereignty-by-design controls in existing AWS regions, Red Hat provides the flexibility to choose the environment that fits your regulatory needs.
