AWS is powerful, but so is avoiding surprise egress bills, CLOUD Act concerns, and paying extra for support that should be included.

| EU Data Residency | ✓ 100% guaranteed EU-only infrastructure | Possible if configured correctly, US parent company |
| GDPR Compliance | ✓ Built-in and automatic | Possible but complex to configure correctly |
| Pricing Model | ✓ Transparent pricing you can understand | ✗ Complex pricing with multiple variables |

When PeaceWeb ™ Makes Sense

When AWS Makes Sense
- • You need 30+ regions worldwide
- • You need specialized services like ML, IoT, or serverless
- • You're already deep in AWS and migration costs are prohibitive
