DESCRIPTION
The implementation of highly scalable, easy-to-deploy technology is radically transforming educational models and student engagement. Many companies have used cloud computing to innovate in ways that have significantly improved the student experience. AWS has been an integral part of the strategies and solutions of these companies, from inception to large-scale growth to market leadership. In this session, Echo 360 and Chegg show how they use AWS services-such as Amazon EC2, Amazon EBS, and Auto Scaling-to dynamically scale and allocate resources based on the school year and cyclical nature of their businesses. They discuss globalization, privacy, PCI compliance, and cost efficiency. Learn how you can apply their insights to your own educational and business models.
