A hands-on field report from one of the first companies to deploy in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (EUSC), which launched in January 2026. The author shares practical findings including missing services (CodeBuild, CodePipeline, CloudFront, IAM Identity Center, etc.), only two availability zones in the eusc-de-east-1 region, tooling compatibility issues requiring latest versions of AWS CLI, Terraform, and SDKs, and the need for support tickets to increase service quotas. AWS Support plans in EUSC have higher minimum costs and slower response times. The post also raises open questions about legal independence, organizational structure, and whether regulated industries will adopt the platform.
