Re: Data sovereignty, eh?

Previously, Microsoft has contracted with a local third-party in Germany (Deutsche Telekom IIRC) to handle their German data centres. That way Microsoft don't have direct access to the servers containing localised client data, so the CLOUD Act cannot be used to compel such access. It would be reasonable to assume a similar thing could/will be done in this case.
