3. How did Amazon get into Cloud Computing?

4. How did Amazon get into Cloud Computing?
We’d been working on it for over a decade
Development of a platform to enable sellers on the
Amazon global infrastructure
Internal need for centralized, scalable deployment
environment for applications
Early forays into web services proved developers were
hungry for more

5. The Cloud is Suddenly Everywhere

6. What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud Computing is a utility service - giving you access to
technology resources managed by experts and available
on-demand.
You simply access these services
over the internet, with no up-front costs and
you pay only for the resources you use.

8. The Cloud Scales
Every day, Amazon Web Services adds enough
new server capacity to support all of Amazon's
global infrastructure in the company’s fifth full
year of operation, when it was a $2.76B annual
revenue enterprise.

10. Flexible

11. Agile
Currently, when government agencies are confronted
with a new or changing mission, they often have to
wait months to procure and configure new hardware.
With AWS, agencies can transition from outdated
applications and turn on the infrastructure to support
effective applications in minutes—not months. AWS
can support this type of rapid change even if the
application requires hundreds or thousands of servers.
Increase Speed-to-mission

12. Agile – US RATB
“Ourmigration to the cloud took only
22 days from feasibility study to
production.”
-Jim Warren, CIO, RATB

13. Scalable
Most agencies would benefit from reducing time-to-
knowledge for their decision support applications.
With AWS, agencies can add the 100s or even 1000s
of servers they need in minutes, eliminating research
queues and reducing time-to-knowledge.

14. Scalable – NASA JPL
“[AWS] allowed us to process nearly
200,000 Cassini images within a few hours
under $200. [Before AWS] we were only
able to use a single machine locally and
spent more than 15 days on the same
task.”
- Khawaja Shams, Sr. Solutions Architect,
NASA JPL
