Abstract:

Cloud computing has accelerated science. Using platforms like the Amazon
Web Services cloud, researchers are no longer slowed down or limited by
lack of IT resources such as compute, storage or analytics. The cloud
provides practically unlimited capacity and useful tooling,
instantaneously. In this session we will see examples of science on AWS.
