Somethings about AWS, how their achive customer

June 4, 2024

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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! 🤣
