Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced the creation of a new team called “AWS Compute Services,” according to an internal email seen by Insider. This team will bring together various services, including Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and serverless products like Lambda, into a single organization.
EC2 allows customers to easily scale their cloud usage on AWS using virtual servers, while Lambda and other serverless products enable customers to run their applications on the cloud without the need to manage servers.
The formation of the AWS Compute Services team coincides with the establishment of another team focused on assisting customers in utilizing generative-AI technology on the AWS cloud. This move comes as Amazon responds to the growing demand for artificial intelligence solutions. Deepak Singh, the vice president who previously oversaw AWS containers and serverless products, is leading this new AI organization.
David Brown, AWS’s vice president leading EC2 and now heading the Compute Services organization, expressed optimism about the consolidation of services in an email sent on May 25. He stated, “This will allow us to accelerate our journey across the various services, driving further efficiencies, and delivering more value for our customers.”
As part of the restructuring, Holly Mesrobian, the vice president of serverless and compute, now reports directly to Brown. She continues to oversee services such as the Elastic Container Service under general manager Nick Coult, Lambda under general manager Ajay Nair, and serverless computing fabric under director Spencer Dillard. Additionally, the events and workflow team under director Ahmed Usman Khalid will be integrated into Mesrobian’s team.
Barry Cooks, the vice president responsible for the Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, now reports to Brown. Jody Gibney, the general manager leading Elastic Container Registry, now reports to Cooks.
Amazon declined to comment on these organizational changes.
