For a majority of big enterprises and small and medium businesses (SMBs)
globally, a transition to full Cloud experience will still take several
years. According to Amazon Web Services (AWS) CEO Andy Jassy, if you
have not decided on migrating your workloads to Cloud, we are here to
bring the same secure, agile and fast AWS Cloud experience on premises
for you.
Admitting that it takes some solid conviction from
senior-level management, aggressive take-down goals and proper training
to move faster on Cloud, Jassy said the company is now providing the
same Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), tools, security and
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) capabilities to
enterprises on their premises as with the Cloud customers.
"Sometimes,
we find that an organization can be paralyzed if it can't figure out
how to move its last workload to Cloud. The reality is that there are so
many workloads that you can move to Cloud while some critical workloads
you can decide to keep on-prim.
"We bring the same secure Cloud
to your on-prim environment before you finally decide to be fully on
Cloud," Jassy told a packed house during the AWS Public Sector Summit
here on Wednesday.
"On-prim data centres will stay and run
alongside AWS before Cloud takes over fully in some years from now. In
between, we are delivering the same AWS Cloud experience on-prim. Same
tools, same APIs and security before you embrace Cloud," he added.
According
to Jassy who is a 22-year veteran at Amazon, the world is changing
really fast even though we don't always recognise how fast it is
changing around us.
"We started about 10 years ago in the public
sector infrastructure Cloud and now, it's amazing to see 5,000
government organisations, about 10,000 academic institutions and more
than 28,000 nonprofits worldwide using AWS," Jassy informed.
"We
have over 165 Cloud-based services that you can mix and match together,
however you see fit, which means that you get from the stage of idea to
implementing it with us," said the AWS CEO.
AWS saw sales surge
41 per cent from the prior year to $7.7 billion in the first quarter of
2019. AWS accounted for about 13 per cent of Amazon's total revenue for
the quarter and Asia-Pacific market has become the next big engine of
growth for the company.
"Databases are changing. The right
purpose-built databases are the future. I think that most people are
pretty frustrated with the older guard database solutions," Jassy said,
taking a dig at arch rival Oracle.
"They're expensive,
proprietary, high lock-in. They're constantly auditing you, fining you
unless you buy more from them. It's just a model that people are sick
of. And it's why people are moving as quickly as possible to more open
engines," he added.
AWS offers several fully managed database services like Amazon Aurora, RDS, Redshift, DynamoDB and DocumentDB, to name a few.
On
customers adopting a multi-Cloud approach, Jassy said that most
organisations, as they start to move to the Cloud, think to split their
workloads across two or three clouds evenly.
"In reality, very
few do that. The majority of them pre-dominantly select one Cloud
provider. The reason is that various Cloud platforms are pretty wild and
different in terms of capabilities and ecosystem and maturity at this
point," he noted.
