“There’s an unbelievable amount of invention taking place every day on
AWS by hundreds of thousands of new and existing businesses. And,
anybody who has studied the history of business, and especially that of
technology, knows that if you’re not reinventing your products,
processes, people allocation, cost structure, skill-sets, and speed to
market, it’s difficult to survive in the long term as a successful
company,” said Ariel Kelman, Head of Worldwide Marketing, Amazon Web
Services. “AWS re: Invent is an opportunity for our current and future
customers to learn proven strategies for taking advantage of the AWS
cloud and take home new ideas that will help them invent within their
