IDC predicts that by 2028, due to geopolitical uncertainties, 60% of organizations with digital sovereignty requirements will migrate sensitive workloads to new cloud environments to reduce risk and increase autonomy.1 SUSE is meeting this shift head-on, empowering customers to meet stringent operational autonomy and data residency requirements without compromising on the robust capabilities of the public cloud.
Offering and Availability
SUSE will offer its Linux products on the AWS Marketplace including SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) and SLES for SAP. These will be available via annual subscription and pay-as-you-go offerings. Bring your own subscriptions will become available at a later date. This builds on SUSE’s existing digital sovereignty offerings including SUSE Sovereign Premium Support.

AWS and SUSE recently expanded their Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) to integrate SUSE’s open source solutions with AWS generative AI services, Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Q. Following the launch of SUSE Rancher for AWS and the delivery of Supplementary Packages for Amazon Linux, this recent development showcases moving from joint innovation in AI and containers to providing the foundational, sovereign infrastructure required by Europe’s most regulated industries.
