European organizations, especially those in highly regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare and the public sector, have constantly had to grapple with the challenge of reconciling the speed of innovation with strict digital sovereignty, explains Ronald Pacheco, Senior Director, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Ecosystem, Red Hat.
To help respond to this scenario and the needs it presents, Red Hat has announced the support for European sovereign cloud from AWS, 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 European Union (EU) residents under EU law.
A foundation of trust for sovereign innovation
Digital sovereignty is not an isolated product that can be implemented with a single action, but a continuous strategy covering data and AI, technology and supply chain, operational and security, and compliance requirements. Choosing the right infrastructure is a fundamental first step, argues the Red Hat executive.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a more consistent, reliable foundation with enhanced security capabilities for organizations to build and scale hybrid cloud applications. As the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform, RHEL offers the stability and security features necessary 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 simplified path to developing a sovereign cloud environment. with a rigorous security profile adapted to your needs. Applications developed with RHEL in existing AWS Regions can also run on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, offering greater consistency between environments.
“Whether organizations need the specific isolation of a sovereign cloud or continue to use sovereignty controls built into existing AWS Regions, Red Hat offers the flexibility to choose the environment that best fits regulatory requirements.”asegura Ronald Pacheco, Senior Director del Red Hat Enterprise Linux Ecosystem.
