Migrating Internal IT Apps to Amazon Web Services Webinar Tonight @6PM GMT

This caught my attention a few days back & I’m looking forward to attending, the details and link is below:

Attend this webinar and learn how Amazon.com, as a customer of AWS, migrated their own internal IT applications to the cloud. Jon Jenkins, Director of Corporate Applications, will talk about best practices for migrating to the AWS cloud, including how his team evaluated the cloud services, how they got started, and where they are today with more than 50 internal applications running on AWS. In addition, JJ will dive into three key application architectures: a video processing engine, BMC Remedy, and SharePoint on AWS.

Jon Jenkins is a Director in the Corporate Applications team at Amazon.com.  He is responsible for assuring that Amazon’s internal users have access to the tools and systems necessary to do their jobs.  Jon’s goal is to drive down the total cost of ownership of Amazon’s internal IT infrastructure while optimizing the productivity of Amazon’s employees.  During his six years at Amazon Jon has held leadership positions on many teams including: personalization, web site content optimization, and web site operations. Jon’s career in IT spans more than 20 years.
