Airbus is migrating its most critical applications for sensitive workloads from AWS to …

Airbus is competing with Boeing. Why would they even expose their “sensitive workloads” to USA’s federal & local governments and agencies?

heightened concern about the US Cloud Act, which allows the American government to request data held in overseas datacenters owned by US businesses

The Cloud Act was passed in 2018. And Snowden revealed various spying programs in 2013, including PRISM where NSA and partners spied on comms at various tech companies. The USA would probably see Boeing’s success as a strategic interest, so it’s reasonable to think they rely on the country’s vast spying powers to help Boeing.

So… what took them so long? Was someone blindfolded for the last 13 years, or naive enough to believe AWS was safe for sensitive european data?
