Podcast Episode Summary
What business is Amazon.com in? Founder Jeff Bezos tells Web 2.0 Summit program chair Tim O'Reilly that there are three components. He says that everyone knows about the consumer-facing and seller-facing businesses. Bezos spent most of his time talking about the developer-facing business, with elements such as S3 (Simple Storage Service) and EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud). Amazon's goal is to take the pieces of the heavy-lifting infrastructure that don't differentiate your business from any other and provide them "by the drink" so that they change from a fixed cost to a variable cost. This episode is sponsored by the Intel Software Network (www.intel.com/software).
