Why are organisations using the Cloud?
The primary reason businesses are
moving so quickly to AWS and the cloud
#1: Agility
Why does agility matter?

#3: Continual Iteration and Innovation
AWS continuously upgrades infrastructure, so you don’t have to
New SSD-Backed Elastic Block Storage
New default block storage option !
Simple pricing structure, you only pay for the storage provisioned (no need to provision IOPS or to factor in the cost of I/O operations !
Predictably burst up to 3,000 IOPS, !
Deliver 3 sustained IOPS for every GB of configured storage
