亞馬遜Web服務(wù)

????亞馬遜在2006年發(fā)布Web服務(wù),，此舉令人費解,。杰夫?貝佐斯為什么帶領(lǐng)他的在線零售公司進入網(wǎng)絡(luò)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施服務(wù)領(lǐng)域？（“這是經(jīng)過深思熟慮的重大決策,?！眮嗰R遜Web服務(wù)產(chǎn)品管理和開發(fā)者關(guān)系副總裁亞當(dāng)?塞里普斯基在去年對《財富》雜志說。）7年后,，完全或部分依靠亞馬遜Web服務(wù)的很多公司,，從網(wǎng)飛（Netflix）和美國宇航局到Pinterest，可能都會感謝貝佐斯,。亞馬遜Web服務(wù)使很多公司擺脫了安裝服務(wù)器和管理數(shù)據(jù)庫等昂貴耗時的任務(wù),，把精力集中于他們的產(chǎn)品,。亞馬遜Web服務(wù)極具價值，加拿大皇家銀行資本市場（RBC Capital Markets）董事總經(jīng)理馬克?馬哈尼估計,，去年該服務(wù)帶來了15億美元的收入,。

Amazon Web Services

????The launch of Amazon Web Services in 2006 seemed a puzzling one. Why was Jeff Bezos pushing his online retail company into Web infrastructure services? ("It was a big soul-searching decision," Adam Selipsky, Amazon Web Services Vice President of Product Management and Developer Relations, told Fortune last year.) Seven years later, many companies that wholly or partly operate off AWS -- from Netflix and NASA to Pinterest -- are probably grateful he did. AWS lets many companies to offload costly, time-consuming tasks like setting up servers and managing databases, and focus on their products. Indeed, AWS may be so valuable, RBC Capital Markets managing director Mark Mahaney estimated that it generated $1.5 billion in revenues last year.
