Governments and organisations across Europe are questioning how to use hyperscalers like Azure while staying compliant and in control. What are the real risks, and how can we reduce them without giving up cloud benefits?

This session looks at legal and technical challenges of using US-based cloud providers in the EU. We will cover Azure capabilities like confidential computing, customer-managed keys and sovereign landing zones, and show how architecture choices can improve flexibility.

And don’t worry, it’s not just legal talk. We will also show practical technical decisions that help you stay in control and keep risks manageable, whether you are building apps or advising on strategy.

Assumed Knowledge:

No prior knowledge needed but would help if you know something about sovereignty goals from your company

Practical Takeaways:

Making the “sovereignty questions” at your company clear. what are the actual risks and how could we mitigate them in Azure

Out of Session Scope:

we will NOT cover: in detail technical setup of each Azure resource on how to make them sovereign as we will focus on high level risks and high level mitigations with some examples.
