As the Indian government asks Big Tech and enterprises to store the residents’ data locally, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has said that it will continue to expand its existing capabilities in the country to provide even more fine-grained data residency controls and transparency.
The Amazon’s Cloud subsidiary, during its annual flagship conference ‘AWS: Reinvent 2022’, announced last week introduced the ‘Digital Sovereignty Pledge’ — a commitment to offer its customers the most advanced set of sovereignty controls and features available in the cloud.
The company said that its approach to delivering on this pledge is to continue to make the AWS Cloud sovereign-by-design — as it has been from day one.
“The launch of the AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) Region and our AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Region will support this by enabling local customers with data residency preferences to store data securely in India, while providing customers with even lower latency across the country,” Puneet Chandok, President, Commercial Business, AWS India, and South Asia, AISPL, told IANS.
