AWS to Launch EU Sovereign Cloud by End of 2025
Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced a dedicated governance structure for its planned 'AWS European Sovereign Cloud' targeting EU governments and companies with strict data processing requirements. The cloud will be operated by a German-registered parent company with three subsidiaries. Kathrin Renz, currently VP AWS Industries, will serve as first managing director. The leadership team and a four-member advisory board will consist exclusively of EU citizens. The offering promises operational autonomy, including separate network infrastructure, a dedicated Route 53 DNS with European top-level domains, and an independent certification authority. Authorized EU-based AWS staff will have local access to source codes. AWS has invested €7.8 billion in the first region in Brandenburg. The service is expected to be available by the end of 2025. The announcement positions AWS against European competitors and Microsoft's sovereign cloud offerings.
AWS's sovereign cloud offering addresses EU data sovereignty and residency requirements, impacting how European businesses, including ad tech, store and process data.

SentinelOne stock: AI boost, 20% revenue growth, profitability
CNBC Pro contributor Kevin Simpson explains why he initiated a new position in cybersecurity firm SentinelOne. The company reported 21% revenue growth to $292 million and 22% ARR growth to $1.218 billion in its fiscal Q2. Non-GAAP operating margin improved to 10% from 2% a year ago, while non-GAAP EPS doubled to 8 cents. SentinelOne is expanding beyond endpoint security into cloud, identity, data, and AI security, with emerging solutions now about half of total ARR. In September, it extended its Wayfinder Threat Hunting service across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Simpson highlights the financial inflection point: strong growth combined with improving profitability, and the AI-driven demand for automated threat response. Despite a slight gross margin dip to 77%, he sees the company as a broader cybersecurity platform with a larger addressable market.
