Airbus moves critical applications off AWS to French cloud Scaleway

Sources: The Register, The Register column, HN discussion
Summary: Airbus is migrating its most critical applications from AWS to French provider Scaleway under a digital-sovereignty program, starting with 70 apps and targeting about 900 applications deemed essential to a minimum viable company. The workloads include ERP, manufacturing, CRM, and product-lifecycle software across design, engineering, and operations. Airbus cites the US CLOUD Act as reason to keep sensitive data under European control and keeps a multi-cloud posture, retaining Skywise and a customer case-management platform on AWS.
Why it matters: A large regulated manufacturer segmenting workloads by risk level and repatriating sensitive systems to a European provider is a concrete data point for sovereignty-driven cloud architecture decisions.
