Jeff Barr was just at Techstars tonight to talk about Amazon Web Services (EC2, S3, etc). It’s fascinating stuff, and many of the Techstars teams are using these technologies to keep costs down early in their lives. Jeff explains the benefits of the Amazon Web Services quite well – he’s a Senior Evangelist for AWS. The benefits to startups are absolutely huge.
Jeff’s plane home in the morning got delayed a few hours, so he’s hosting a get-together at the Boulderado in downtown Boulder at noon on Tuesday (7/10) for anyone who would like to come hang out and learn more about Amazon Web Services. Just drop Jeff an email at jbarr at amazon dot com if you’d like to come.
Thanks for the heads up David. I had a great lunch with Jeff and also got to meet Michael from Hyperites. Got the first hand experience from a StartupWeekend participant and feel even more bummed that I couldn’t make it now. Looking forward to be able to particpate in the future.
