Few anecdotes (heard through the grapevine)
I used to think that with their number one position in the cloud computing market, AWS would easily find customers, but the truth is not like that.
-
They almost subsidize all the costs (credits) for "potential customers" to migrate their existing systems to the AWS platform and services. Of course, the customer must have a usage bill of around 500,000 USD/ year.
-
AWS will partner with AWS Partners to deploy and implement the plan in point 1. Althought AWS has a team called ProService, most of them are based abroad, and of course, they will need local engineers.
-
There are many customers with a very large scale, but their systems ar this time have not been standardized. They are scattered and use many differenct cloud computing services.
Is there anything else fun today?
Oh, I also gained experience about the "high-end" office lunch. If every day is like that, then my financial freedom plan needs to be seriously reconsided! 🤣
