Like many people, I have been shopping the Amazon.com e-commerce site as a consumer for many years. For me, it has offered good value, convenience, and reliable service. I never knew, however, of the penetrating influence of Amazon Web Service (AWS) until I attended AWS re:Invent 2018, held in Las Vegas on Nov 26-29. As a non-technical person, my understanding of AWS is that it delivers a comprehensive platform, providing a mix of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PasS), and packaged software as a service (SaaS). AWS indicates that users’ needs are the motivation for its developments and the root of all its inventions. Performance and end-users’ experience are key elements that hold true for its performance enhancements. In the cloud service arena, AWS has gradually become the public cloud-computing leader.
