Amazon: 2023 letter to shareholders
Published today, 11 April, the full letter can be downloaded here.
Amazon is now hosting so much data for clients in the cloud that it is literally having to truck it to data warehouses. When it transitions a new company, some have such a lot of backed-up information that it can literally take years to transfer it online. In response, Amazon has developed its Snowmobile vehicle, effectively a 45ft container that can hold up to 100 petabytes (The Loadstar is learning some new vocabulary here), which is the equivalent to 100 million gigabytes – described as a “gigantic USB stick”.
