Support for AWS European Sovereign Cloud
complete
J
Johannes Rudolph
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud (ESC) is a separate AWS partition for European organizations with strict data residency and sovereignty requirements (GDPR, NIS2, public sector regulations).
Like the AWS China partition, ESC uses different API endpoints, ARN formats, region identifiers (e.g. eu-isoe-west-1 in Germany), and has different service availability.
meshStack currently does not support the AWS ESC partition explicitly and needs to add support for this, similar to the existing AWS China support.
Value / Impact
Adding AWS ESC support would enable platform engineers to:
- Manage AWS ESC tenants centrally from meshStack alongside standard cloud platforms, including the global AWS partition
- Apply consistent governance, access control, and chargeback across sovereign and standard AWS accounts
- Automate tenant provisioning and landing zone enforcement for AWS ESC accounts
Especially valuable for German public sector organizations and regulated enterprises in finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.

- Implementation approach is similar to AWS China partition support already in meshStack.

Update: Implementation in Progress
The core meshStack implementation for AWS ESC (European Sovereign Cloud) partition support has been merged. This includes:
- Support for the aws-euscpartition ARN format alongside standard and China partitions
- ESC-aware replication across the AWS replicator and IAM facade
- ESC region/partition selection in the Landing Zone configuration UI
- Billing facade support for ESC cost collection
We are working on the remaining items (documentation updates, Terraform provider support, and reference module updates) before the feature is fully available. We will post another update when it ships in a release.
