Economic uncertainty makes dynamic resource model of the cloud a tempting option for start-ups. With the elasticity of cloud computing, no capital goes unused and organizations don't have to guess how much capacity they require. AWS is attractive to small businesses because it is inexpensive to deploy and allows companies to pay only for the resources they use. Amazon Chief Technology Officer Werner Vogels said that “Cost of failure in the cloud world is close to zero". Application and deployment speed, in addition to ease of use, are key benefits of the cloud for enterprises. For large organizations, hardware savings also can be significant.Redistributing capacity to use capital in the most efficient way is another main reason to implement AWS.

The industry-wide cloud services pricing curve have inclined downwards with respect to time. Courtesy to the big players like Amazon, Google & Microsoft, price cut is a routine phenomenon in this industry. Amazon Web Services is well known for its belief in the phrase “change is the only constant”. AWS has made frequent changes to its cloud service in recent years, from price cuts to tighter integration with private data centres, to accommodate the enterprise market and branch out beyond its original clientele of developers and start-ups. They had reduced their price 42 times over the past 8 years! At the same time, with huge amount of data available today, a lot of hidden, unearthed insights can be found for each and every industry.

The focus is now on the desktop.  In March it unveiled “AmazonWorkSpace”, a fully managed desktop computing service in the cloud. It had been running “WorkSpace” as a Beta version with some customers since November last year. It can run in such a way that an employee or a customer can log in and out of a system and use it exactly as if it was one of the company's own systems without realizing that it is running in the Amazon cloud. From an organization’s point of view, outsourcing of their day-to-day system uptime issues to a third party is going to be a big advantage.
