January 15, 2026 – Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu and provider of open source security, support, and services, announced today that it is a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, a new independent cloud for Europe, with Ubuntu and Ubuntu Pro now available.

Canonical’s Ubuntu Pro delivers a securely designed, stable, and enterprise-ready foundation for open source innovation while providing customers with the same security, availability, and performance they expect from AWS. This enables customers to meet stringent operational autonomy and data residency requirements within the European Union (EU).

The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is a fully featured, independently operated sovereign cloud backed by strong technical controls, sovereign assurances, and legal protections designed to meet the needs of European governments and enterprises. The AWS European Sovereign Cloud infrastructure is entirely located within the EU and operates independently from existing regions. Customers using the AWS European Sovereign Cloud will benefit from the full power of AWS including the same services portfolio, security, availability, performance, familiar architecture, APIs, and innovations such as the AWS Nitro System.

“The AWS European Sovereign Cloud represents a significant step forward for organizations operating under EU regulatory frameworks,” said Cindy Goldberg, VP Cloud and Silicon Partnerships at Canonical.  By combining the performance and the expanded security coverage of Ubuntu Pro with AWS’s sovereignty controls and technical assurances, we’re delivering the compliance support and innovation our customers need to accelerate their digital transformation while meeting stringent EU regulatory requirements.”
