Honestly my bigger concern is what AWS is going to call eu-west-2 now…

It should generally have been expected that this would happen in line with the rules. Bit silly, but there we go. Proxy registrants are available.

The eu part of the aws naming means Europe, not the European union.

Sure. Isn't this datacenter in London, though? Privacy and data retention and whatnot...FWIW, there seem to be some anecdota of data migrations to Ireland and Frankfurt, everywhere I bring this question up (except for some British companies moving their data the opposite way).

Okay, lame joke – but I'm both aware of that, and know that even if it weren't the case it wouldn't have to change.
