I wrote about the need for service level agreements dedicated to researchers who are depending on APIs a couple weeks ago, and while I was doing my work profiling of AWS, I came across their approach to supporting research. Amazon has a dedicated program research and technical computing on AWS, where they:
“helps researchers process complex workloads by providing the cost-effective, scalable and secure compute, storage and database capabilities needed to accelerate time-to-science. With AWS, scientists can quickly analyze massive data pipelines, store petabytes of data and share their results with collaborators around the world, focusing on science not servers.”
Amazon has three distinct ways in which they are helping researchers, as well as the industries and people they impact:
- AWS Research Cloud Program - The AWS Research Cloud Program helps you focus on science, not servers
