Early in 2012, several analysts from Morgan Stanley analyzed the AWS business and judged that the service pulled in $1.19 billion in 2011. (You gotta love the precision that these pundits come up with, eh?) Other analysts from JP Morgan Chase and UBS have calculated that AWS will achieve 2015 revenues of around $2.5 billion. The bottom line: AWS is big and getting bigger (and better) every day. It really is no exaggeration to say that AWS represents a revolution in computing. People are doing amazing things with it, and this book shows you how you can take advantage of it.
