SUSE has been appointed technology partner of the European sovereign cloud initiative of Amazon Web Services (AWS)a movement that reinforces its positioning in the field of cloud infrastructures aimed at regulated sectors and organizations that demand greater guarantees of digital sovereignty in Europe.
The designation comes in unison with the launch of Amazon Web Services Sovereign Cloud for Europe, a proposal aimed at European customers who require greater control over the location, management and access to their data, without giving up the advanced capabilities of the public cloud. In this framework, SUSE contributes its experience in enterprise open source software as a technological basis for cloud environments designed under criteria of regulatory compliance, resilience and control.
According to IDC forecasts, growing geopolitical and regulatory uncertainty will drive the adoption of sovereign cloud models in the coming years, especially in strategic and highly regulated sectors. This type of infrastructure seeks to offer European organizations the possibility of maintaining control of their data and critical operations, aligning with the legal and digital sovereignty frameworks of the region.
SUSE emphasizes that the collaboration with AWS responds to its customers’ demand for open and flexible platforms that allow them to deploy critical workloads in sovereign cloud environments. The company highlights its role as a provider of Linux technologies and business solutions aimed at facilitating the modernization of infrastructures, maintaining technological independence and the ability to choose.
Regarding the offer, SUSE will make its enterprise Linux products available through AWS Marketplaceintegrating them into the AWS sovereign cloud proposal for Europe. This availability will allow organizations to access SUSE solutions within an environment specifically designed to meet sovereignty, security and compliance requirements.
The extension of the collaboration agreement between AWS and SUSE is part of an already existing relationship between both companies, which in recent years have worked together to offer hybrid and multicloud cloud solutions. With this initiative, both parties seek to respond to the needs of the most regulated sectors of the European market, which require advanced digital infrastructures without compromising control over their data and systems.
