Description
Researchers worldwide face a growing tension between leveraging cloud services to accelerate discovery and meeting digital sovereignty requirements - but it doesn't have to be a choice. This session will explore how AWS built its infrastructure with sovereignty in mind, giving researchers / institutions ownership and control of their data: where it is stored, who can access it, how it is governed, and where it is shared. We'll discuss how AWS scales security and control across a spectrum of needs, from institutional-level cloud access, to secure research environments, to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, and what this means for NRENs looking to unblock cloud access for their research communities.
