AWS Network Firewall now available in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud

AWS Network Firewall is now available in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, allowing European users to protect sensitive data while complying with EU regulations.

AWS has announced the availability of its Network Firewall service in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud starting today. This development is particularly beneficial for European customers, including those in heavily regulated sectors, government bodies, and organizations that must adhere to stringent data sovereignty laws. These users can now deploy AWS Network Firewall to safeguard their critical workloads while ensuring compliance with the European Union’s data protection regulations.

With this expansion, customers utilizing the AWS European Sovereign Cloud can access the same capabilities of the AWS Network Firewall as those in other AWS regions, all while ensuring that data and operations are confined within EU borders and controlled from within the EU. The AWS Network Firewall is a managed service designed to provide vital network security for Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). It automatically adjusts to varying network traffic volumes, offering high-availability protection without requiring users to manage the underlying infrastructure.

For further details on the availability of AWS Network Firewall, users can refer to the AWS Region Table. Additional information about the service can be found on the AWS Network Firewall product page and through its service documentation.
