Vincenzo, a developer on the OC Group team, has obtained the AWS Certified Developer – Associate certification, issued directly by Amazon Web Services. The certification attests to validated skills in the design, development, and deployment of cloud-native applications: serverless architectures with Lambda and API Gateway, S3 storage, distributed databases with DynamoDB, CI/CD pipelines, and security standards in a cloud environment.
It is one of the most rigorous technical exams in the international cloud landscape, and for OC Group it represents a concrete expansion of the skills available on customer projects—not a showcase certificate.
In recent years, the issue of data residency has become a regulatory priority across Europe. The GDPR imposes stringent requirements on the processing of personal data. The NIS2 Directive raises the level of security required for critical digital infrastructures. And the EU Data Act, applicable from September 2025, introduces new rules on interoperability and portability of cloud data.
In this context, for many organizations—particularly government agencies, companies in regulated industries, and companies with sensitive training data—the question is no longer just “how much does the cloud cost?” but “where does my data physically reside, and who has access to it?”
This is the question that OC Group has been asking itself for years when designing eLearning infrastructures for its clients. And it is the question to which we have a more solid answer today.

OC Group has been working for over twenty years on open source LMS platforms—primarily ILIAS, alongside Moodle—for manufacturing companies, public bodies, training organizations, and organizations with complex infrastructures. In this context, the data that passes through the platforms is not just any data: it includes learning profiles, assessments, certifications, and integrated HR data.
The combination of certified AWS expertise within the team and the availability of the AWS European Sovereign Cloud now opens up concrete scenarios for OC customers who want to:
Alongside the certification, OC Group has developed a suite of solutions for optimizing ILIAS and Moodle platforms on AWS S3 infrastructure—Amazon’s scalable storage, now available with European residency guarantees.
The package is designed for organizations that manage significant volumes of training content and require a cloud infrastructure that is both high-performance, cost-effective, and compliant with European data protection regulations.
If you manage an ILIAS or Moodle platform and want to understand how to structure your cloud infrastructure in compliance with European digital sovereignty, contact us.
OC Group has chosen to work on open source platforms from the very beginning because freedom of technological choice is an integral part of the concept of digital sovereignty. ILIAS is a platform with European governance, public and verifiable code, and a development ecosystem independent of proprietary logics.
Integrating this choice with cloud infrastructures that respect European data residency is the natural evolution of this position. It’s not a concession to the market: it’s consistency.
