Steve Riley’s Experience

Sr. Technical Program Manager
Amazon.com
(Public Company; AMZN; Internet industry)
July 2009 — Present (5 months)
The momentum behind cloud computing continues to grow. Unlike the application service provider (ASP) days of yore, cloud computing is here to stay: the business models are mature, the technology can support the requirements, and there are clear customer benefits.
My role in Amazon Web Services is to help customers of all sizes, from small startups to large enterprises, understand the benefits of infrastructure as a service style cloud computing and how to integrate the various elements into their existing infrastructures; also to track requirements, concerns, and opportunities so that Amazon’s offerings match the needs of its customers.
We know that many organizations are keen to explore cloud computing, but have reservations particularly about availability, reliability, security, compliance, and manageability. In my role I will concentrate on these issues, plus others. I’m very excited about this new position because it’s a wonderful opportunity to learn some new technologies, develop and communicate new processes, and still allow me to continue direct interaction with customers around the world. -
