If AWS is willing to enter the enterprise world, commit to enterprise class SLA is the first step to get the enterprise attention and credibility. All other security, resiliency and availably concerns will not be a deal-breaker for the enterprise. All “Shadow IT” projects already embraced by IT already today, and there is no reason why secured IaaS will not be one of them.

I would agree that providing some soft of incentive for Enterprise developers to place more of their applications into AWS would be wise. But, I also argue, that large companies are built differently than smaller start up companies. Therefore what is really needed is a comprehensive partnership between Amazon and a Big Enterprise Software company.

Well, that’s another sad story in a row. Earlier they had an outage on this Christmas, it was too boring – at least for me.

For those who didn’t know about it. Here’s their outage story and the reason behind it:

For what it’s worth Werner Vogels addressed some of these questions when I spoke with him at re: Invent about how enterprises are using AWS: http://gigaom.com/2012/11/29/amazons-vogels-on-21st-century-apps-and-it-life-events/.

“well-architected IT services across AWS availability zones and regions mitigate that risk”. And there lies the problem. Most are not well architected and definitely not for the cloud. I am trying to my current employer to ensure we evaluate all software (we mostly buy vs build) and ensure it is ready for the future.
