Amazon's Cloudshare

In this October 10 Information Week article, it states that Amazon's share of government cloud computing is accelerating. This is good news. And the news isn't just good for Amazon but for all cloud services providers because it shows an increased adoption -- or willingness to adopt -- of cloud services. While the "public cloud" that Amazon typically delivers isn't right for all businesses, and many require a private or hybrid cloud, it certainly has its place, and it should be noted that some form of cloud services is right for every busines. So, the more news the 800 pound gorilla, Amazon, makes, the more it drives home this message. And that is good for us all.
