Space Clouds
The new space race would be quite a slog without cloud computing, as Amazon CTO Werner Vogels illustrates in this engaging DLD Summer talk with Jennifer Schenker, Editor of The Innovator.
Many industry players, from NASA to startups, rely on smart data centers to power their efforts. “There’s huge up-front costs for anyone who wants to innovate in space”, Vogels explains. “We started to look at that and think, ‘What can we do to take the heavy lifting away?” Turns out cloud computing can speed up the effort at many points along the way.
