Amazon Web Services chief Andy Jassy kicked off the AWS re:Invent developers conference today. Jassy unveiled a new data-warehouse-as-a-service offering, dubbed Redshift, and also announced a price cut for the cloud giant's S3 service.
Some 6000 people are attending the two-day conference.
AWS unveiled a Sydney Region earlier this month. The Sydney Region launched with two Availability Zones. However Jassy has said that he expects that demand will likely lead to the cloud wing of Amazon launching further Availability Zones in Australia the future.
