Quickstart Program and Readiness Assessment for the AWS Sovereign Cloud

1. Assessment Phase: Data and AI Readiness Check Together with your team, we analyze which data, applications, and workloads are suitable for the AWS Sovereign Cloud – from both a functional and regulatory perspective:

• Data Type Analysis: Identification and classification of sensitive or regulated data (e.g. personal data, critical business data).
• Workload Suitability: Evaluation of existing AI and data applications in terms of technical, economic, and regulatory migration readiness.
• Regulations & Compliance: Assessment of GDPR, BSI requirements, and industry-specific regulations.
• Architecture Recommendation: Draft of a target architecture including sovereign data access, role separation, and technical data protection.

Outcome: A well-founded migration plan with prioritized use cases, architectural sketch, and executive decision support.

2. Quickstart into the AWS Sovereign Cloud We accelerate your first productive steps with a preconfigured setup and secure integration:

• AWS Sovereign Cloud Setup: Deployment of the isolated AWS Sovereign Cloud environment.
• Network & Security Configuration: Secure connection to your existing cloud or on-prem infrastructure (e.g. VPN, PrivateLink, Direct Connect).
• Data Migration (Proof of Concept): Selection and migration of a pilot dataset or test application.
• Deployment of Initial AI or Analytics Use Case: For example, machine learning model training with sovereign data access or analytics workloads using Amazon SageMaker.
• Governance & Auditability: Activation of logging, monitoring, audit trails, and role-based access control.

Outcome: A fully functional prototype in the AWS Sovereign Cloud – seamlessly integrated and securely manageable.

3. Integration into Existing IT and Cloud Landscapes We enable hybrid operations and seamless integration with your current infrastructure:

• Connection Architecture: Design of hybrid scenarios (e.g. Sovereign Cloud for sensitive data + public cloud for frontend services).
• dentity Federation: Secure integration with existing IAM systems (e.g. Active Directory, AWS IAM Identity Center).
• Process Integration: Alignment with existing CI/CD pipelines, data flows, and monitoring systems.
