Matt Garman on AWS, AI, and What Comes Next

Matt Garman is stepping into the AWS CEO job. The Amazon Web Services unit has been the cloud company's growth engine for more than a decade. Now Garman — who spent his career at Microsoft before Amazon — is taking the wheel as AI reshapes what businesses actually want from the cloud.

Garman talks through the shifts he's seeing in customer behavior and how the cloud business is evolving beyond just storing data to handling the heavy lifting of training models and serving AI workloads.

Why this matters for us: When the cloud giants pivot, the prices and tools we depend on shift with them.
