Finland has suspended a plan to move its election platform to Amazon Web Services, opting to remain on domestic servers through the 2027 general election, Bloomberg’s Kati Pohjanpalo reports. According to an emailed statement on Tuesday, “In the past just over a year, the international political situation has changed and the Justice Ministry decided to review the question on how to host the election platform,” adding that the decision on a new platform will be taken at a later stage. “AWS provides secure, reliable cloud infrastructure to tens of thousands of public sector organizations across the world who trust AWS with their most sensitive workloads” including Finnish public sector customers, a spokesperson said by email.
