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 capabilities. Deepak Singh, the vice president who previously oversaw AWS containers and serverless products, is leading this new AI organization.
In an email dated May 25, David Brown, AWS’s vice president leading EC2 and heading the Compute Services organization, expressed his belief that this change will enhance alignment and understanding among the teams, leading to accelerated progress and greater value for 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, Lambda, and the serverless computing fabric. Barry Cooks, the vice president in charge of the Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, now reports to Brown as well.
Amazon has declined to comment on these developments.
