Six-minute segment from Amazon’s AWS re:Invent keynote last week:
Payam Mirrashidi, VP, Cloud Systems & Platforms, Apple, explains
how AWS Graviton helps improve developer velocity at scale. Hear
Swift’s journey from the premier programming language for the
Apple ecosystem to adoption by millions of developers around the
world building apps for everything from devices to data centers.
(Graviton is AWS’s ARM-in-the-cloud initiative.)
Nothing earth-shaking in this brief presentation, but it’s not often you see an Apple VP on stage at another company’s keynote, or see Apple so very publicly declare their reliance on someone else’s infrastructure. It speaks to Apple and Amazon being more allies than competitors amongst the big tech companies. And of course, you even less often see anyone from Apple speak live on stage at Apple’s own keynotes, which, alas, are no longer live nor on stages.
