I haven't looked into the details but I remember from the announcement that the EU cloud is owned specifically by an EU entity headed by EU citizens. There would be no point spinning up a 'sovereign cloud' beholden to the US.

... And this entity is again owned by AWS. And so the cloud act still applies.

Of course: It gives (both sides) a narrative that let's them pretend everything is alright.

How would the cloud act apply if none of the employees of the AWS European Sovereign Cloud are US citizens?

Edit: Looks like the below is not true. However, such setup is technically possible and if they were serious about making it truly isolated from US influence, it can be done.

Original comment: No it's not owned by AWS. It's a separate legal entity with EU based board and they license the technology from the US company.
