PAC'S ANALYSIS
PAC's Opinion
Amazon Web Services (AWS) was fundamental to the creation of the publicIaaS market. The
Amazon.com subsidiary started off as a game-changer for the entire IT industry and has
since established itself as one of the few leading 'hyperscalers' in the market. According to
PAC's rankings, AWS held a market share of 47% in the worldwide public IaaS/PaaS market
in 2020.
Established IT providers have been giving up the battle for market share in the public
IaaS/PaaS space and have instead opted to incorporate AWS' and its peers’ services into
their portfolios.
Consequently, AWS continues to grow at an impressive pace and has become a huge
contributor to Amazon's overall profits. Plus, the COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated
cloud migration - for reasons of cost efficiency and agility, and to support remote work.
What's more, the cloud platform supports organizations’ transition towards digital and data-
driven business models.
However, even though the number of competitors in the infrastructure operations space has
been decreasing, AWS' position has evolved "from hunter to hunted". AWS remains by far
the largest cloud provider with the longest history and the biggest customer and partner
ecosystems. Nevertheless, the remaining competitors are highly ambitious – and successful
– in getting a bigger slice of the cake.
In order to remain ahead of the competition, AWS has been regularly adding new services,
features, and functions to the platform, addressing new customer groups (e.g. corporate
enterprises, SMEs, specific verticals) and covering more critical (business applications) and
bigger (up to the complete replacement of data centers) workloads.
In addition, the company has been massively extending its partner community (e.g.ISVs,
SIs, managed service providers, process and strategy consultants), which supports
migration, resells, influences, and adds value through specific services or competencies. For
one thing, partners hope to grab a share of the fast-growing cloud business. In addition,
their customers expect them to provide support with the major cloud platforms, incl. AWS.
The number of companies going all-in is still modest but keeps growing – not only innovative
start-ups that were born in the cloud, but also well-established organizations are replacing
their legacy systems, moving to the cloud.
For clients that consider hybrid cloud as their preferred model, or that have particular
latency requirements in their local operations, AWS keeps extending its offering “beyond the
Region"; with the launch of more options for on-premises, edge, and hybrid cloud
approaches, AWS has adopted a less dogmatic cloud computing approach. With the launch
of more deployment options, AWS covers new business areas, particularly in the prospering
SITSI | Vendor Analysis | Vendor Profile | Amazon Web Services | Worldwide | 2021 5
IoT space. This is also attractive for service partners as they potentially get broader access
to new business areas such as services for workloads hosted on AWS Outposts in client data
centers or other on-premises environments.
The increasing focus on innovative areas such as AI, analytics, IoT, 5G, blockchain, and
quantum computing not only helps to position AWS as a major innovation partner, but –
through infusing existing offerings with these capabilities – also further increases the
attractiveness of its service portfolio for both developers and business decision-makers.
AWS has always understood better than most of its competitors how to leverage the
developer community's influence over enterprise decisions. Today, AWS is no longer just
considered as a major platform, but also as a partner and role model for innovation and
business transformation by C-level decision-makers. The future of platform and data-driven
business models in many industries is often still in the early stages but is expected
to quickly evolve into a very significant business, which will benefit not least the cloud
platform providers. AWS has proven its ability to move into new, attractive areas where it
can deliver on a large scale.
Pay-as-you-go pricing continues to be a central part of AWS's services. AWS customers have
different ways to optimize their AWS cloud spend, with cost monitoring and optimization
mechanisms such as AWS Savings Plan, AWS Reserved Instance, and Enterprise Discount
Plan. Also, AWS’s services are built to make it easy to migrate to and from AWS. Still,
workloads migrated to AWS are increasingly significant, and services built by clients on AWS
are increasingly linked to proprietary technology, services, and devices. This means that
more and more customer engagements are not very far from the classic big-deal IT
operations era, with commitments on terms and capacity usage. This will probably change
AWS's positioning and go-to-market, but also its image, over time. After all, major cloud
outages, such as the one in the AWS US EAST-1 region in early December 2021, make the
market aware of how dependent entire industries have become on the few major cloud
providers.
Potential economic and commercial dependencies, data sovereignty issues, and vendor
lock-in are increasingly considered as critical, given the massive market power of a few
cloud vendors. In Europe, e.g., various sovereign cloud initiatives aim at strengthening the
position of future cloud-based businesses. While AWS has introduced comprehensive
measures to protect customers’ personal data, it has been less visible in the sovereign cloud
space (incl. regional partnerships) than some of its peers.
Nevertheless, all in all, AWS is well positioned to continue its success story. Even though
most customers, just like most AWS partners, pursue a multi-cloud strategy, AWS is usually
considered as a major cloud partner.

Strategy Review
The first public speeches made by AWS's new CEO, Adam Selipsky, did not give the
impression that he was planning an immediate major strategic shift. Also, AWS re:invent in
late 2021 – usually the place for major announcements – was more characterized by
evolution rather than by disruption.
AWS aims at “remaining the platform with the broadest and deepest set of tools for today’s
builders, providing the right tools for the right job”.
Even though 2021 did not bring major strategic shifts or new product lines, the number of
new announcements remains impressive. AWS has been steadily expanding the capabilities
and services of its cloud platform. Today, AWS offers over 200 services for compute,
storage, databases, networking, analytics, robotics, machine learning and artificial
intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), mobile, security, hybrid, virtual and augmented
reality (VR and AR), media, and application development, deployment, and management.
Some major recent announcements about new features and services are listed in chapter
"Main Changes“.
Future technologies: Also, many of the announcements made in the last few years were
about addressing the need to prepare for innovative technologies such as blockchain,
quantum computing, 5G, and digital twins. Generally speaking, AWS plans to offer more
high-level services and solutions that can be used across a variety of industries, expanding
its business further beyond the basic AWS building blocks. E.g., at the end of 2021, the
company said that tens of thousands of customers were supporting more than 10 million
contact center interactions a day on Amazon Connect.
IoT, analytics, and machine learning: Many new features were recently announced in
the focus areas IoT, analytics, and machine learning. These topics are considered as
important differentiators, with a steadily growing portfolio that not only allows to build, train,
and deploy machine-learning models, but increasingly also offers use case-specific and off-
the-shelf services such as pre-trained models and algorithms. AWS addresses the main
challenges related to AI - ML skill shortage, complexity of ML modeling, identifying the right
business cases, and making it "easier to build, easier to scale, and easier to apply".
Accordingly, various roles are addressed with different flavors of the offering - developers
without ML competencies as well as ML experts and data scientists without extensive
coding competencies. For example, Amazon SageMaker Canvas was introduced to enable
non-coders to generate accurate ML predictions. AWS expects the character of software
development to fundamentally change; ML is expected to relieve developers from low-value
tasks such as code reviews and bug fixes, and allow them to focus more on development.
AWS also announced new initiatives in the area of education and training, designed to make
machine learning more accessible for anyone.
However, it's not only the AI and ML portfolio that is growing; more and more established
AWS services are infused with ML capabilities in order to make their usage more efficient
and effective. E.g., AWS announced the general availability of Amazon „ QuickSight Q“, a
SITSI | Vendor Analysis | Vendor Profile | Amazon Web Services | Worldwide | 2021 7
new machine learning-powered capability in Amazon QuickSight designed to let anyone type
questions about their business data in natural language and receive accurate answers with
relevant visualizations in seconds.
Over the past few years, AWS has added more and more products to its portfolio that are no
longer exclusively provisioned in the AWS Regions, but also in client data centers and edge
nodes. E.g., AWS Outposts targets on-premises workloads, AWS Local Zones addresses end
users and resources in particular geographic areas, and AWS Wavelength targets mobile
users and connected devices.
The aim is to provide a seamless experience across the AWS cloud, on-premises data
centers, and the huge variety of edge infrastructures. In short, AWS technology – including
infrastructure, chips, software, and services – is to be run everywhere.
The recently announced AWS Private 5G, e.g., is designed to make it easy for enterprises to
deploy and scale private 5G networks in their facilities. The offering includes hardware
(including SIM cards), software, and management through AWS; administration can be done
via the AWS Management Console.
Installable software: AWS IoT SiteWise Edge brings features of AWS IoT SiteWise to
customers’ premises. The recently announced AWS IoT FleetWise should make it easier and
more cost-effective for automakers to collect vehicle data and transfer it to the cloud in near
real time. The open source distribution EKS Anywhere, an installable software package,
works on any infrastructure and offers customers automation tools for Kubernetes. Amazon
ECS Anywhere allows customers to deploy native Amazon ECS tasks in any environment.
On-premises infrastructures: AWS Outposts has been continually extended by new sizes
and specifications for specific use cases and requirements. All these solutions allow
customers to run AWS services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, and
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) on-premises.
Managed services for hybrid infrastructures : AWS Managed Services (AMS), including
incident, problem, patch, and security management, operates AWS workloads hosted on
AWS Outposts in data centers, colocation spaces, and on-premises environments. AWS
Managed Services usually works with partners to help operate AWS on behalf of customers.
Given AWS’s massive growth, resources for sales and enablement play a critical role. While
the company keeps hiring significant numbers of enterprise representatives, account
managers, solution architects, and support staff, partners are clearly driving the business.
Specific partner competency programs aim at further partner specialization and
differentiation related to workloads (SAP, Windows, etc.), solutions (IoT, storage, mobile,
security, migration, etc.), vertical sectors, as well as related to services like consulting,
migration, and managed services.
Via the AWS Marketplace, clients cannot only source software solutions, but can also
purchase cloud-related professional or managed services from third-party vendors. These
partners now have the ability to market services such as assessments, integration and
support services, and training through this channel, which, according to AWS, is used by
more than 300,000 active customers. Partners will also be billed via the AWS Marketplace.

Going vertical
In the financial services space, e.g., Goldman Sachs announced the launch of GS Financial
Cloud for Data with AWS, a new suite of cloud-based data and analytics solutions for
financial institutions. Nasdaq’s co-designed primary data center becomes the first private
AWS Local Zone for Capital Markets.
In the pharmaceutical industry, AWS works with Pfizer, for instance, to support more rapid
innovation and improved clinical manufacturing operations to help develop tomorrow’s
therapies. The companies are exploring potential advances through their newly created
Pfizer Amazon Collaboration Team (PACT) initiative, which applies AWS capabilities in
analytics, machine learning, compute, storage, security, and cloud data warehousing to
Pfizer laboratory, clinical manufacturing, and clinical supply chain efforts.
Amazon.com
AWS has not only been an important business line for its parent company when it comes to
revenue growth and profits. Amazon.com is also a major customer for AWS, and there are
still opportunities to grow the group's internal business. Moreover, many of the AWS
services, such as Amazon Personalize, Amazon Forecast, Amazon Fraud Detector, and
Amazon Connect, are based on technology developed for Amazon.com. Plus, there are
Amazon offerings where the boundaries between Amazon.com and AWS activities are
blurred. Alexa for Business, for example, is a service that enables organizations and
employees to use Alexa as their intelligent assistant, and also with the Alexa devices they
already have at home.
