Standard AWS accounts cannot access or publish resources to European Sovereign Cloud regions, and resources cannot be replicated between them. + +Without BOSH stemcells available in AWS European Sovereign Cloud regions, Cloud Foundry cannot be deployed in these environments, preventing adoption by government agencies and regulated industries with strict data residency and compliance requirements. + + +## Proposal + +Create a new AWS account within the AWS European Sovereign Cloud partition to enable BOSH stemcell publishing to European Sovereign Cloud regions. + +### Pipeline + +The existing [stemcell build and publishing pipeline](https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-stemcells-ci/blob/master/pipelines/publisher/pipeline.yml) must be extended to support AWS European Sovereign Cloud regions.
