Driving Bandwidth Cost Down for AWS Customers. For example, when our retail customers contributed to create larger economies of scale for Amazon.com, we used the savings to lower pricing such that our customers could also benefit. Any work we can do to improve over these dimensions generates long term benefits for AWS customers.

For example, XA transactions block execution if the application process fails during the prepare phase; moreover, XA provides no deadlock detection and no support for optimistic concurrency-control schemes. Thus, ensuring the atomicity of writes across different storage technologies remains a challenging problem for applications [3].
