ReInvent 2017 AWS all about capturing data flows via AI, Alexa, database, IoT cloud services.
The days of Amazon Web Services as an infrastructure provider are over as the company--and its customers--are going server less and moving up the stack to be a machine learning, data management and artificial intelligence platform.
At re:Invent, AWS CEO Andy Jassy was pitching his company to data scientists as much as IT pros deploying Internet of things tools and various databases. AWS CTO Werner Vogels was outlining his vision of computing in the future and it all revolved around data.
"The quality of the data you have will be the differentiator," said Vogels. "Data will have a crucial impact on how companies change behavior and build new systems."
Turns out, according to Vogels, that cloud computing was "an egalitarian system that set the stage for data" and "neural networks we can execute in real-time."
