This document provides an overview of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its capabilities for media use cases. It discusses AWS's global infrastructure, pay-as-you-go model, pace of innovation, and flexibility. Example media use cases on AWS are given such as storing and managing media libraries with Amazon S3, transcoding with Amazon Elastic Transcoder, streaming content with Amazon CloudFront, and big data analytics with Amazon EMR. Success stories from companies like Netflix, NDTV, and Hungama are shared that leveraged AWS's scalability and elasticity.

Before we start, a few very quick house keeping items – request to keep your cell phones on silent, if you have an urgent call to take you can take it by stepping outside. Also we have restrooms right out of there. Hopefully you don’t have to go out too often before my ppt ends since it’s only going to take less than an hour & half.Intro to me. This is also the first 101 event of the year and for those who have been to our other events last year might or might not know that our overall India team has expanded just in order to have greater & better Sales coverage for customers or potential customers like you. To quickly introduce some of them present here --
How many of you purchase from Amazon?
How Amazon got into Cloud Computing.
When we say Elastic, we mean elastic in real time literally. That is scaling up say servers & storage within minutes (not hours or days) and equally importantly scale down in a manner of minutes. Because one can argue that even if it take time, one can scale up in on-premise DC but can you really scale down – no you can’t. Even with virtualized Infrastructure you scale down the VMs but the underlying h/w still remains leased or purchased for the life of it.

Overhyped term, but what does it mean for you? Gone are the days when I will read Hindu because my dad handed over the physical copy to me. In the online world when talking about print content, digital media published over the web, your end users have a ton of choices to go content & portals that they find interesting. To have stickiness of users to your platform, there is no choice but to proactively provide them with published content that is in line with their interests & changing tastes. Because interests these days can vary with geographies, demographics, age groups & many other factors. My nephew goes to 10 different sites to get news and videos. You understanding his patterns and interests by profiling their history online – that’s the level once you go through that you get create real stickiness with your end users. And it’s an iterative process constantly not really a one time process and this can be received from the various social medias & other sources which means lot of data in not necessarily structured format and lots of processing & lot of iteration.
Netflix hasmore than 25 million streaming members and is growing rapidly. Their end users stream movies and TV shows from smart TV’s, laptops, phones, and tablets, resulting in over 50 billion events per day.
