Sovereign cloud in Europe just moved from idea to action. At EVOLVE London I sat down with Christopher Royles from Cloudera. Cloudera has been named a launch partner for the new AWS European Sovereign Cloud, and we unpacked what this means for builders, leaders, and regulators across EMEA.

Here is what we covered in the interview I am publishing next:

- What “sovereign by design” means in practice for data, control planes, encryption, and operational access

- How this model helps organizations meet strict European requirements while keeping teams productive

- How it connects to Cloudera’s Private AI strategy so enterprises can run AI on their terms

- Where sovereign cloud demand is strongest across EMEA and why industries like public sector, financial services, and healthcare are leaning in

- A practical path to comply without stalling innovation, from architecture choices to operating models

If you care about trusted AI, data control, and real-world compliance in Europe, this conversation will be useful. I will share the full interview with Chris next.
