Delos Cloud (delos)
This page describes the Landing Zone catalogue delos as shipped with SWAO: the provider and its sovereignty model, the regions with their residency and certifications, how the catalogue is refreshed and how to use it as a target.
Provider and sovereignty model
Delos Cloud is a sovereign cloud for the German public sector based on Microsoft technology. It is offered by Delos Cloud GmbH, a subsidiary of SAP, and operated in German data centres together with Arvato Systems. The catalogue has one region, de, which spans the geo-redundant German sites.
Sovereignty model: the operator is an EU entity and no extraterritorial exposure is recorded. The platform builds on technology from a US supplier; consider this supplier dependency separately from the jurisdiction facts. Many services are still announced or in preview, no certifications are recorded yet and the confidence is low, so check the service status with the provider before an engagement.

The catalogue records no certifications for any region. A framework that requires a certification (for example BSI C5) therefore reports a certification gap for every region of this provider.
