Amazon Web Services
What’s possible in a post Web 2.0 world? Innovation continues at a mind-bending pace, and this presentation will showcase some thought-provoking new directions that Web Services are headed in. The presentation will provide an overview of Amazon Web Services, including a demonstration showing how to easily set up a virtual server environment using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. Also included will be a Web Service named Mechanical Turk that allows computers to make requests of people, an online storage service, and more.
Amazon spent ten years and over $2 billion developing a world-class technology and content platform that powers Amazon.com for millions of customers. Using Amazon Web Services (AWS), over 200,000 developers have registered to build software applications leveraging the same robust, scalable, and reliable technology.
