Welcome to the January issue of our eNewsletter. One of the main news stories in this issue revolves around Amazon’s announcement of its Europe (London) region, meaning that users can now leverage the AWS Cloud to run their applications and store their data on infrastructure in the UK. This is likely to be seen as good news by the 100,000+ active AWS customers in the UK already, and should also attract new users concerned about data sovereignty as we move into a post-Brexit world.
Certainly the UK government itself seems to be pleased, as evidence by comments from Liam Maxwell, National Technology Advisor: "We're one of the first governments to implement a cloud-first policy and our reforms have saved more than £3.5 billion. We now have a competitive market to deliver cloud services onshore with the scale of AWS, meaning that companies and organisations can benefit from scalable, pay-as-you-go enterprise compute services. In the public sector, the effect on user experience, project delivery timescales, and costs will be marked. We're delighted that AWS is now live in the UK, and look forward to it being a strong part of the ongoing transformation of our digital economy and digital government."
I'd be interested to hear what our readers think of this news - are UK businesses in danger of becoming too heavily reliant on one giant service provider? Feel free to share your thoughts via the email address below, as ever.
