In the fiercely competitive cloud - computing market, Amazon's AWS (Amazon Web Services) continues to maintain a dominant foothold. However, its growth rate has seen a slowdown, prompting some investors to adopt a cautious, wait - and - see stance. Matt Garman, the CEO of Amazon Web Services, made an appearance on Yahoo Finance's 'Opening Bid' program. During the show, he emphasized that cloud - computing technology is still in its nascent stages, yet it harbors tremendous potential. He further elaborated that AWS is currently in the initial phases of constructing the fundamental building blocks. These building blocks will be in high demand when startups, large corporations, and government agencies embark on developing artificial intelligence applications and intelligent agent workflows.
