Enterprises are increasingly moving infrastructure and applications to the AWS cloud. The document discusses how the AWS cloud provides benefits such as no upfront capital expenses, low variable pricing where customers only pay for what they use, self-service infrastructure provisioning, and the ability to easily scale resources up and down as needed. It also discusses how enterprises are using AWS to run business applications, web applications, big data and high performance computing workloads, and for disaster recovery. The document cites examples of enterprises saving costs and improving agility by using AWS.
