I had a great time talking to @DataCentre_Mag about delivering the AWS European Sovereign Cloud in record time. It's phenomenal what automation can accelerate, and great to get the benefits of efficiency, sustainability, and security to customers.

AWS VP and Distinguished Engineer @colmmacc is featured on the front cover of @DataCentre_Mag discussing the build out strategy of the European Sovereign Cloud. "We don't want customers who have sovereignty needs to have to accept anything less than the best."

At Google, it was considered “fast” if you got promoted to Director by 40. It was so odd that ostensibly intelligent men judged their own achievements by their peers at the plantation. “I can’t believe he made Director at 32!” The fact that Larry & Sergey founded Google at 25
