Have to wonder how much of the push for more EU AWS regions comes from dealing with a potential exodus from the London region due Brexit (e.g. because of data protection issues)
- redcalx 10y agoI imagine the greater concern is the deep integration between the NSA, GCHQ and ISPs in the UK and USA.
- reason_police 10y agoAs if any first-world government weren't already monitoring everyone as best they can?
- simion314 10y agoAFAIK the US and UK share the databases access(or have an easy/fast way to share info - sorry I forgot where I got this information so I don't have a link tas a proof but I think is already a known fact) so hopefully NSA has to do more paperwork before asking other EU country for data.
- beaconstudios 10y agoit's not just the US and UK - they're just 2 members of the intelligence sharing community. There's Five Eyes, bringing in Canada, New Zealand and Australia, and from there the scope widens considerably: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UKUSA_Agreement#9_Eyes.2C_14_Eyes.2C_and_other_.22third_parties.22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UKUSA_Agreement#9_Eyes.2C_14_E...
- Zolomon 10y agoErr.. The Swedish FRA[1] is in cahoots with the ones you mention. I doubt that's the concern. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defence_Radio_Establishment https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defence_Radio_Estab...

- nallerooth 10y agoIn Sweden we've got "FRA", which is one of NSA's BFFs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defence_Radio_Establishment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defence_Radio_Establi...
- metafunctor 10y agoFRA, the Swedish national authority for signals intelligence, is well-known for collaborating with the NSA.
- moonbug 10y agoDude, you'd not believe how big the demand on the UK region is.
- lucaspiller 10y agoCare to elaborate?
- dazc 10y agoData centre in Dublin is well established (UK centre is fairly new IIRC?) and there is zero chance of Ireland leaving the EU, so I doubt this is the reason.
- rsynnott 10y agoThe German one is also older than the UK one.
- jk563 10y agoI think (with no basis in reputable source) it's more just that Amazon see a large potential market in Europe that current Regions can't cover. There're also possibly local data laws / policies that mean not every company could use one of the existing Regions.
