Today, millions of customers are moving to the cloud faster than ever before. From the fastest growing startups to the largest enterprises to government agencies, customers are using AWS to lower costs, become more agile, and innovate. With this event, AWS will show how it is re-inventing hybrid cloud and edge computing by extending AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools wherever customers need it. AWS provides a truly consistent and secure experience to build and run applications across the continuum of environments where customers operate, from the cloud, to large metro areas, 5G networks, on-premises locations, and to mobile and IoT devices.
