Airbus is migrating 70 critical applications from AWS to French cloud provider Scaleway. The move supports its push for digital sovereignty to keep sensitive data under European control. The company plans to shift a total of 900 applications, including ERP, manufacturing execution systems, CRM, and product lifecycle management. Catherine Jestin, Airbus head of digital, cited Scaleway's technical capabilities, competitive pricing, and roadmap collaboration. The aerospace firm will continue using AWS for other workloads like Skywise and customer case management. It also keeps tools from Salesforce, Microsoft, and Google where data criticality allows. The decision follows concerns over US laws like the Cloud Act and geopolitical tensions. European providers often lack the scale of US hyperscalers, but Airbus found Scaleway met its needs for sensitive industrial and defense-related systems.
