While datacenter based IT costs are largely fixed, in a three year depreciation schedule, cloud costs are inherently variable, and can be sized to fit the need. When times get tough, a focus on cost optimization can also greatly reduce cloud costs, and the results take effect in next month’s bill.

When Amazon launched AWS Lambda in 2014, it ushered in a new era of serverless computing. In fact, Gartner predicts that cloud-native platforms will serve as the foundation for more than 95% of new digital initiatives by 2025 — up from less than 40% in 2021. At AWS re:Invent 2021 , the focus is on cloud modernization.
