The keynote discusses how cloud computing with AWS can provide benefits to companies. It notes that AWS allows companies to focus on their core business instead of managing infrastructure, and can lower costs of experimentation. Examples are given of companies in Southeast Asia that have reduced costs, increased innovation and agility by moving workloads to AWS. The keynote outlines how to get started with AWS, including building cloud-ready applications or planning phased migrations of existing applications.

(or “Private Cloud”)
Metered, Pay As You Go Model
Use only what you need,
using on-demand, reserved, spot or dedicated
Flexible

54. Economies of scale allow AWS to continually lower costs
We build IT at higher
scale than most any
operator of data
centers in the world
We are comfortable
running a high volume,
low margin business
We pass the savings
along to our customers in
the form of low prices and
continuous reductions

55. Moving to Astro-on-the-Go from a private data center to AWS
reduced opex by 60%
Idling test environments when not in use has saved us 10% in
opex in Astro Digital
Reserved Instances purchases will save 40% over three years
Time to market across digital reduced at least 3-4 weeks
…leading our evolution to an agile development company

56. Increased agility has
become the #1 reason
businesses use the AWS cloud

57. Enterprises Can’t Afford to be Slow
AWS:
Infrastructure in Minutes
Add New Dev Environment
Add New Prod Environment
Add New Environment in Japan
Add 1,000 Servers
Remove 1,000 Servers
Deploy 1 PB Data Warehouse
Shut down 1 PB Data Warehouse
Old World:
Infrastructure in Weeks
Everything changes with this kind of agility

58. A Culture of Innovation:
Experiment Often & Fail without Risk
On-Premises
• Experiment Infrequently
• Failure is expensive
• Less Innovation
• Experiment Often
• Fail quickly at a low cost
• More Innovation
$ Millions Nearly $0

59. SingPost Uses AWS to Expands E-Commerce Business in Just
3 Months While Reducing CAPEX by 50%
• Singapore Post Ltd, commonly known as
SingPost, is using its regional postal &
logistics network as a back bone to provide
end-to-end online e-commerce sites for
almost 200 commercial clients across Asia
• SingPost needed a hosting environment that
would allow it to build e-commerce sites
rapidly and enable a fast time to market
• Using AWS, SingPost can create an e-commerce
platform for new customers in less
than three months, expand to new regions in
one day, and estimates saving at least 50%
by running on AWS instead of an on-premises
environment
