European defence officials are pushing back against parts of the EU’s proposed Cloud and AI Development Act that would introduce stricter sovereignty requirements for cloud services used by military and other sensitive public-sector systems, according to the Financial Times. The report said officials from several EU countries, including eastern and Nordic member states, are concerned […]
Microsoft has opened its fourth cloud region in India, adding new computing capacity in Hyderabad as companies move more workloads and AI applications onto cloud infrastructure.

European data rules shape how cloud services are built and deployed, pushing software providers to offer options that keep data and control inside the region. A new move by customer experience software firm Genesys shows how vendors are preparing for that shift, as more organisations weigh compliance risks when choosing where to run cloud workloads. […]
In a move that underscores the changing role of sovereign cloud and artificial intelligence beyond traditional markets, Abu Dhabi-based technology group G42 has signed an agreement with a Vietnamese consortium to build national-scale cloud and AI infrastructure in Vietnam.

For many European organisations, cloud decisions are no longer just about cost, scale, or performance. As companies assess options such as Amazon’s sovereign cloud, choices are increasingly shaped by questions of control: where data sits, who can access it, and how exposed critical systems are to foreign laws and political pressure. That tension helps explain […]
For Airbus, the cloud is no longer just an IT decision. It has become a question of control. Europe’s largest aerospace group is weighing a move away from two of its most important technology suppliers—Google and Microsoft—as it looks for a cloud environment governed entirely by European rules. According to reporting by The Register, Airbus […]
For years, sovereign cloud discussions focused on geography. Data had to stay inside a country. Infrastructure had to sit within defined borders. Control was assumed to follow location. That model is starting to break down. AI workloads, distributed applications, and stricter oversight rules are pushing organisations to rethink what sovereignty actually means in practice. Data […]
The US government is to gain access to new AI and high-performance computing tools as AWS prepares a major expansion of its secure cloud systems. The company plans to invest up to $50 billion starting in 2026 to build out AI and supercomputing capacity in its Top Secret, Secret, and GovCloud regions. The buildout will […]
