What is the world's largest bookseller doing in the Cloud Computing business? What is Cloud Computing anyway? Amazon has been in the hosting and data center management business for many years. Amazon's experience with running its retail business maps directly into how to run Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Amazon Web Services is now exposing this flexible infrastructure for customers to use for creating scalable, available, durable, secure and highly reliable applications in the Cloud.
Join us for a lunch with Amazon as we learn about Cloud Computing and the Amazon Web Services Platform.
