31. #7: All-in — IT Entirely in the Cloud
“We have to be great at a
number of things…
operating data centers is not
one of those things”
“We are a hospitality
management organization, not
an IT services company”
2000 applications migrating
to AWS in 18 months
Enterprises can’t afford to be slow
YET if you ask engineering leaders how long it takes to get a server…6-25 weeks
Maddening…people stop trying to invent…why bother?
Anybody that does a lot of inventing will tell you that the two most important things are…
In the CLOUD, can spin up thousands of servers in minutes…
If these experiments don’t work, give back to us or reuse
With the elasticity of AWS, you no longer need to forecast demand and buy up front. You get the ability to scale up to meet the needs of spiky workloads, but then give that capacity back when the spike is over. Whether your dealing with annual spikes like the December retail boom, monthly or quarterly spikes associated with accounting workloads, or unpredictable spikes associated with web marketing, or any other situation where demand changes over time, cloud has considerable advantage over the traditional IT investment model.
All of a sudden, w the possibility a reality that you can try new ideas:
Move teams from learned helplessness where no point using shower cycles
To a world where employees are motivated to think of new ideas for customers
And instead of only getting these ideas from select senior folks, come from all over org
People often ask us what does cloud mean for our IT people
Reality is they don’t go away…work on value-added activities on top of infrastructure instead of undifferentiated racking and stacking
Imo, better question is how do we empower more of our employees to invent/improve cust exp
Truth is, people who work at enterprises want to invent as much as start-ups, just been hamstrung
Cloud unleashes this innovation…lets you be more agile, get more ideas all over org, and RECRUIT more talented folks in process
Better for customers, companies, and business—WIN ACROSS BOARD
Let’s face it, racking and stacking gear in a data center just doesn’t help you win over your competitors. It takes lots of time and lots of money and becomes a big distraction from activities that can truly differentiate you. Plus, without big economy of scale, these activities simply cost more.
2nd big reason people are moving so fast to the cloud is breadth of services/features/geo AWS has
If want to build new businesses from scratch or move some/all workloads to cloud, need a broad array of services and features to make this happen and not have to piecemeal it
Note: This slides lists services that were launched in a given year. 2014 has not had a service launch YTD.
The Gartner report is available at http://aws.amazon.com/resources/analyst-reports/
This is a point of reference about our scale- in 2003, Amazon.com was a $5+ Billion technology powered retail business. When we measured the capacity growth rate of our current AWS environments, we found that we add enough server capacity to power all of the 2003 era Amazon business, EVERY DAY.
As an additional point of comparison, $5Billion revenue puts you right around 400 in the Fortune 500- that means that we’re adding enough capacity to power a pretty big stand alone company-
For some perspective on this, some examples of companies with revenues right around $5 Billion include Charles Schwab, Clorox, Harley Davidson and VMware.
Transition to price reductions
With traditional infrastructure, you have to guess how much capacity you will need over the next 3-7 years, and pay for most or all of it on day one. This ties up money that you could be spending on other things and it’s very difficult to forecast accurately over such a long period of time. With AWS, you pay for what you need, when you need it.

SunPower Corporation:
A leading global solar technology and energy solutions provider,
Uses AWS to help meet compliance requirements for disaster recovery, enabling SunPower to successfully expand into the leasing market.
The company also saves $120,000 annually over using a traditional hosting provider.
BMS: used Amazon's services to build a research cloud.
Gives these scientists the ability to run thousands and thousands of clinical trial simulations so they can optimize design. This allows them to reduce the number of human subjects used in a study, reducing its length and frequency of data collection, and ultimately cost to conduct.
Significant portions of the Wall Street Journal, dozens of mobile and tablet apps worldwide, along with back-office apps are migrating from traditional, statically provisioned data centers, resulting in a 9X increase in AWS usage in the past 12 months.
APIs made it possible to integrate with their legacy technologies, without concern for what it was developed in.
Share development globally, in minutes, using CloudFormation.
After evaluating the infrastructure and making the business case internally, News Corp, and their parent company, are migrating 3000 applications by the end of January 2015, resulting in a global saving of $100M in infrastructure costs.
