AWS warms up to hybrid clouds

AMAZON'S cloud services arm, Amazon Web Services (AWS), has been making efforts to appease customers wanting their "hybrid clouds" as more companies feel more at ease relying on both private data centres and public clouds.

In an interview with BizIT, Amazon's chief technology officer Werner Vogels said that over the next few years, companies will shift more reliance on own data centres to cloud providers.

"It's a hassle to manage your own," he said. But he didn't think companies would "dump the data centre altogether".
