Spend on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud-native services, including serverless compute AWS Lambda, data warehouse Amazon Redshift, and streaming platform Amazon Kinesis, is set to go up this year, according to a new study from 2nd Watch.<\/p>\n

The Seattle-based firm, an AWS premier partner, found that of 1,000 US IT and business executives, almost half (48%) said they plan to spend at least 10% more on Amazon’s cloud-native options. 35% of all respondents said they planned to spend between 10% and 20% more, compared with 13% who planned to spend 21% to 30% more.<\/p>\n

When it comes to reasons for adoption, it all comes down to money, whichever side of the equation you are on. 31% of those polled said the opportunity to increase revenue was the biggest driver for using cloud-native services, while 24% cited the opportunity to decrease costs. Enhanced customer service (22%) and the desire to achieve a faster time to market on new products (20%) were also cited.<\/p>\n

Two thirds (66%) of respondents say they expect return on investment from these services, either now or soon.<\/p>\n

“The survey results are consistent with what we’re seeing and hearing from our customers,” said Jeff Aden, co-founder at 2nd Watch in a statement. “They are making new investments into these cloud-native services as payoff from previous investments show up, and they’re looking for new ways of creating value and driving down costs.<\/p>\n

“As far as challenges go, the largest enterprises will continue seeking support from leading providers that are experts in public cloud and have experience migrating and managing enterprise workloads,” Aden added.<\/p>\n

Logicworks, another AWS partner, has previously discussed the importance of services such as Lambda in particular in this publication, describing it in a piece one year ago<\/a> as ‘in many ways the future of infrastructure-as-code and cloud automation’. “Although it is likely not being adopted by many AWS cloud consumers at this point, it has generated buzz since its spotlight at Re:Invent 2015 and will likely reach many more milestones,” the company wrote.<\/p>\n

With this latest research, it seems there is plenty of truth in that last statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
