Amazon Web Services wants its customers to focus on their own business.
The cloud service is a subsidiary of tech giant Amazon that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies, and governments, and they have now responded to reports that they have temporarily stopped data centre leasing amid cost worries.
AWS Global Data Centers Vice President Kevin Miller wrote on LinkedIn: “We have almost two decades of experience delivering data centre capacity to meet customer demands, when and where they need it. “That experience has taught us to consider multiple solutions in parallel.
