Record Notes
AWS's EU West 3 region (Paris) launched in December 2017 as Amazon's first French cloud region. Comprising three Availability Zones spread across the greater Paris area, the region serves French enterprises, government customers, and AI workloads subject to French data residency requirements. France's strict GDPR enforcement and digital sovereignty requirements make the Paris region critical for French and EU-based AI deployments. The region hosts SageMaker, Bedrock, and AWS's full AI service stack. AWS has committed to powering its European infrastructure with 100% renewable energy by 2025 through PPAs with French wind and solar farms. The Paris region is also a key site for AWS Trainium and Inferentia chip-based inference workloads serving European customers.
