In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began offering IT infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services - now commonly known as cloud computing. Since then, our pace of innovation has continued rapidly. Let's take a look at some of the exciting announcements and latest service updates over the past 6 months and learn about: - New features and enhancements to existing services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon Redshift and Amazon SNS - How these features and services fit together in the overall AWS landscape - New solutions and approaches to common IT use cases that are now possible
