Slashdot/Digg/TechCrunch Effect Rapid, unexpected customer demand/growth

“Every year, we take the busiest minute of the busiest hour of the busiest day and build capacity on that, we built our systems to (handle that load) and we went above and beyond that.” * -- Scott Gulbransen Intuit Spokesman * http://news.com.com/2100-1038_3-6177341.html

30% of time, energy, and dollars on differentiated value creation 70% of time, energy, and dollars on undifferentiated heavy lifting

Successful Undifferentiated Your Idea Product “Heavy Lifting” Amazon Web Services Amazon Simple Storage Service Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Amazon Simple Queue Service Amazon Mechanical Turk

Elastic capacity – both up and down Fast Always available Rock-solid reliability Very simple Cost-effective Low up-front investment

Faster time to market Ability to scale on demand Focus on product & core competencies More capital available to drive business Faster pace of innovation Happy investors

10 web services spanning core infrastructure to e- commerce Running as part of Amazon’s proven computing and networking environment 12 years and $2 Billion spent building Amazon’s technology, infrastructure & content 240K registered developers

Amazon S3: Storage for the internet Store 1 byte to 5 GB objects, URL-accessible SOAP and REST APIs Private and Public Storage Options (ACLs) Economical

$0.15 per GB per month to store data $0.10 - $0.18 per GB to transfer data $.0001 - $.01 per request Paid via AWS Developer account

Amazon EC2: Compute capacity in the cloud Scale capacity up and down in minutes Developers control their machine instances $0.10 per server per hour $0.10 - $0.18 per GB to transfer data

Amazon SQS: Message queuing service Reliable message transmission & storage to avoid duplication or lost messages Unlimited queue count, message size, message count $0.10 per 1,000 messages sent $0.10 - $0.18 per GB to transfer data

API to Human Processing Power Planetary-scale Paid Work Force Put a Human in the Loop HITs, Requesters, Workers 10% fee to Amazon ($0.005 minimum)

Challenge: Scalable storage solution to meet increasing customer demand Solution: Amazon S3 Result: 192TB stored in Amazon S3, saved $1,000,000 Time to Deploy: One week to start storing photos

Smugmug increased their photo storage from .5 million in 2003 to 140 million in 2007

Implemented Amazon S3 in April 2006 Apr-Oct grew 72%, from 64 Million images to 110 Million images Currently storing 192 TB in Amazon S3 Estimates saving $1,000,000 to date Project $1-2 Million savings in 2007 * http://blogs.smugmug.com/don/files/ETech-SmugMug-Amazon- 2007.pdf

Challenge: Needed scalable support for services such as transcoding and file transfer Solution: Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, and Amazon SQS Result: $100 to launch scalable infrastructure Time to Deploy: 1 day to integrate Amazon S3, 75 days from start time to full launch w/ all services

GigaVox Infrastructure

Implemented Amazon S3, Amazon EC2 and Amazon SQS in November 2006 Created an infinitely scalable infrastructure for less than $100 - building the same infrastructure themselves would have cost thousands of dollars Reduced staffing requirements - far less responsibility for 24x7 operations

Challenge: Provide an inexpensive podcast transcription service to customers via the Internet Solution: Amazon Mechanical Turk Result: Able to emerge as the market leader with low prices and quick turnarounds Time to Deploy: 24 days
