Cloudera has partnered with AWS as a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, delivering a sovereign-ready data and AI platform designed for highly regulated industries and public sector organizations in the EU. This collaboration ensures data residency, compliance, and secure AI innovation within EU borders, addressing the growing demand for data sovereignty.
Cloudera’s partnership with AWS introduces a robust data and AI platform tailored for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, launched on October 9, 2025. This solution addresses the escalating need for data control and compliance, as highlighted by IDC’s forecast of a 27% annual growth in sovereign cloud spending, reaching $258 billion by 2027. Designed for industries like finance, healthcare, and public sector, the platform ensures data residency within EU borders, meeting stringent regulatory mandates while enabling secure AI and analytics deployment.
The Cloudera Platform on AWS European Sovereign Cloud offers critical capabilities: it maintains data and metadata residency in the EU, supports secure innovation through comprehensive data and analytics services, and ensures operational autonomy with infrastructure managed by EU-resident AWS employees. “Our customers face growing demands for security, compliance and innovation,” said Paco Mateo-Sidron, SVP, Head of EMEA, Cloudera. “The AWS EU Sovereign Cloud empowers them to keep data within the EU, meet rigorous regulatory standards, and drive AI and analytics innovation-securely and with full operational autonomy.”
By integrating Cloudera’s hybrid data platform with AWS’s sovereign cloud infrastructure, the solution enables organizations to industrialize AI use cases while adhering to EU regulations like GDPR and emerging frameworks. “Cloudera is committed to supporting organizations and partners in their Sovereign Cloud endeavors, providing the technology and expertise to build a secure, innovative, sovereign data future,” said Sergio Gago, Chief Technology Officer at Cloudera. This partnership empowers public sector and regulated industries to leverage AI for decision-making, threat mitigation, and operational efficiency without compromising compliance.
