    Jeff Bezos Talks About Why Amazon is an innovator in Web Services

    DateSaturday, May 31, 2008 at 3:03AM

    GigaOm has an interview Amazon's Jeff Bezos about Amazon Web Services.

    This video confirms 2 reasons why I think AWS is successful. Being a retailer, Amazon has low margins and needs to be efficient. (they know how to do pricing to maximize profit.) And, being a retailer, they have to hit dates to meet retail schedules (no compromises on delivery).

    Here are more details for you to digest.

    • How and when Amazon began its cloud computing effort.
    • Why Amazon has become an innovator with Amazon Web Services and how it relates to their core business of being an online retailer.
    • Whether or not Wall Street recognizes Amazon’s cloud efforts.
    • What’s next for Amazon Web Services.
    • Whether or not Amazon has plans for a VC fund or for cloud computing startups.

    For even more info about Amazon’s cloud computing efforts, join us at our upcoming conference, Structure ‘08, where CTO Werner Vogels will be delivering a keynote address.
