The first, Andy Jassy, replaced Bezos as CEO of Amazon's sprawling business. The second, Adam Selipsky, was hired in March to fill Jassy's old role as CEO of Amazon's single biggest moneymaker: Amazon Web Services (AWS).</p><p><blockquote>纽约（CNN商业）当杰夫·贝索斯今年早些时候决定放弃亚马逊首席执行官的职位时，这促使亚马逊任命了两位新首席执行官，而不是一位。第一位是安迪·贾西(Andy Jassy)，他取代贝佐斯成为亚马逊庞大业务的首席执行官。第二位是亚当·塞利普斯基(Adam Selipsky)，他于3月份受聘接替贾西(Jassy)担任亚马逊最大赚钱公司亚马逊网络服务(AWS)首席执行官的旧职位。</blockquote></p><p> Selipsky was no stranger to AWS. He first joined the Amazon cloud computing division in 2005, before its services were even publicly available. But in 2016, after 11 years with the company, he left. In the five years he was away running data visualization firm Tableau, the business and the industry changed considerably, bringing Selipsky a new set of challenges.</p><p><blockquote>Selipsky对AWS并不陌生。他于2005年首次加入亚马逊云计算部门，当时该部门的服务还没有公开。但在2016年，在公司工作了11年后，他离开了。在他离开经营数据可视化公司Tableau的五年里，业务和行业发生了很大变化，给Selipsky带来了一系列新的挑战。</blockquote></p><p> Annual revenue from AWS nearly quadrupled in that time, and the pandemic caused a huge surge in demand for cloud computing and cloud-based services. But the competitive landscape also intensified. While AWS pioneered cloud technology and is the longtime industry leader, rivals like Microsoft (MSFT) Azure and Google (GOOGL GOOGLE) Cloud have stolen some of its market share.</p><p><blockquote>在此期间，AWS的年收入几乎翻了两番，疫情导致对云计算和基于云的服务的需求激增。但竞争格局也加剧了。虽然AWS开创了云技术并且是长期的行业领导者，但微软(MSFT)Azure和谷歌(GOOGL谷歌)Cloud等竞争对手已经抢走了其部分市场份额。</blockquote></p><p> One of the first major hurdles for Selipsky is the battle, especially with Microsoft, for lucrative government cloud services contracts.</p><p><blockquote>Selipsky面临的第一个主要障碍是争夺利润丰厚的政府云服务合同，尤其是与微软的竞争。</blockquote></p><p> In 2019, Microsoft won a contract to modernize the Pentagon's IT infrastructure in a deal worth as much as $10 billion over 10 years, a major blow to AWS, which previously held a deal with the department. The contract was ultimately canceled after Amazon protested that former President Donald Trump had unfairly influenced the deal, but it signaled that AWS may no longer be the obvious choice for such major projects.</p><p><blockquote>2019年，微软赢得了一份在10年内价值高达100亿美元的五角大楼IT基础设施现代化合同，这对此前与五角大楼达成协议的AWS来说是一个重大打击。在亚马逊抗议前总统唐纳德·特朗普不公平地影响了这笔交易后，该合同最终被取消，但这表明AWS可能不再是此类重大项目的明显选择。</blockquote></p><p> Now, both companies are expected to bid — potentially along with others such as Google Cloud and Oracle — for the Defense Department's new Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract to replace the 2019 deal.</p><p><blockquote>现在，预计两家公司都将竞标国防部新的联合作战云能力（JWCC）合同，以取代2019年的合同，可能会与谷歌云和甲骨文等其他公司一起竞标。</blockquote></p><p> But in one of his first interviews since taking over as AWS CEO, Selipsky sounded confident about his company's prospects. The new AWS chief said he believes his company still has an edge over Microsoft in clinching government work.</p><p><blockquote>但在接任AWS首席执行官后的第一次采访中，Selipsky听起来对公司的前景充满信心。新任AWS负责人表示，他相信他的公司在完成政府工作方面仍然比微软有优势。</blockquote></p><p> \"We really were the first in the cloud to have big, significant government contracts in every area of government and years before any of the competitors,\" he told CNN Business in an exclusive interview last week, which took place inside the new AWS Skills Center at the company's headquarters. \"We learned a lot about how to do cloud implementations and work very closely with federal government customers,\" he said.</p><p><blockquote>他上周在新的AWS技能中心内接受CNN Business独家采访时表示：“我们确实是第一个在政府各个领域获得大型、重要政府合同的云计算公司总部。”“我们学到了很多关于如何进行云实施以及如何与联邦政府客户密切合作的知识，”他说。</blockquote></p><p> He added: \"I think you'll find, particularly given our leadership position, that our competitors spend a lot more time talking and worrying about AWS than we do about them — we choose to focus on our customers.\"</p><p><blockquote>他补充道：“我想你会发现，特别是考虑到我们的领导地位，我们的竞争对手花在谈论和担心AWS上的时间比我们花在他们身上的时间要多得多——我们选择专注于我们的客户。”</blockquote></p><p> (While such contracts are good for business, some employees have previously taken issue with the company's work for certain government agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement — a dynamic that may only add to Selipsky's challenges in the role.)</p><p><blockquote>（虽然此类合同对业务有利，但一些员工此前曾对公司为某些政府机构（包括移民和海关执法局）所做的工作提出异议——这种动态可能只会增加塞利普斯基在该职位上的挑战。）</blockquote></p><p> Selipsky said Amazon never anticipated being the only winner in the cloud. And the industry has certainly gotten large enough to accommodate more than one major player — public cloud spending is expected to reach more than $300 billion this year, according to Gartner estimates from April.</p><p><blockquote>Selipsky表示，亚马逊从未预料到会成为云领域唯一的赢家。该行业肯定已经变得足够大，可以容纳不止一个主要参与者——根据Gartner 4月份的估计，今年公共云支出预计将超过3000亿美元。</blockquote></p><p> \"In any fast growing, interesting market segment, there's going to be competition,\" he said. \"We've always thought there would be not a lot of winners, but a small handful of winners that emerge and have vigorous competition, and that's what we see. But we still are the significant leader.\"</p><p><blockquote>“在任何快速增长、有趣的细分市场中，都会存在竞争，”他说。“我们一直认为不会有很多赢家，而是会出现少数赢家并进行激烈竞争，这就是我们所看到的。但我们仍然是重要的领导者。”</blockquote></p><p> We 'really encourage' employees speaking up</p><p><blockquote>我们“真正鼓励”员工畅所欲言</blockquote></p><p> Shortly after Selipsky took charge of AWS, the business faced a different challenge from within. A group of employees circulated a petition alleging discrimination and harassment of women and minorities in one of the AWS business units, after which the company hired an outside firm to investigate. Similar employee activism has cropped up recently at Apple, Google and video game company Activision Blizzard.</p><p><blockquote>在Selipsky接管AWS后不久，该业务面临着来自内部的不同挑战。一群员工散发了一份请愿书，指控AWS的一个业务部门歧视和骚扰女性和少数族裔，之后该公司聘请了一家外部公司进行调查。苹果、谷歌和视频游戏公司动视暴雪最近也出现了类似的员工激进主义。</blockquote></p><p> While some companies have appeared to chafe at employee organizing (AWS parent company Amazon has faced criticism for what some see as anti-union efforts), Selipsky said he thinks workers speaking up may ultimately be good for the business.</p><p><blockquote>虽然一些公司似乎对员工组织感到恼火（AWS母公司亚马逊因一些人认为的反工会努力而受到批评），但塞利普斯基表示，他认为员工畅所欲言最终可能对企业有利。</blockquote></p><p> \"I really like the fact that people are bringing their whole selves to work and that they're speaking out — we really encourage that,\" he said. \"I've found that if you have a really good process and really genuinely listen and show people that you're taking the time to listen, even when they disagree with you at the end of the day, we all can lock arms and move forward together.\"</p><p><blockquote>“我真的很喜欢人们全身心地投入工作并畅所欲言——我们真的鼓励这样做，”他说。“我发现，如果你有一个非常好的流程，真正真诚地倾听并向人们表明你正在花时间倾听，即使他们最终不同意你的观点，我们都可以携起手来共同前进。”</blockquote></p><p> He continued: \"I really welcome the fact that a lot of topics are being discussed today that maybe were discussed less in the workplace five, 10, 20 years ago.\"</p><p><blockquote>他继续说道：“我真的很欢迎今天正在讨论的很多话题，而这些话题在五年前、十年前、二十年前在工作场所可能讨论得较少。”</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Another growing concern with the cloud industry is that the data centers it relies on are energy intensive. Much of that computing is still reliant on fossil fuels, but Selipsky said AWS is working to change that in keeping with Amazon's larger promise to be net carbon zero across the company by 2040. Amazon's climate pledge was announced in 2019 just ahead of a planned walkout by employees over perceived inaction by the company on climate change.</p><p><blockquote>云行业另一个日益增长的担忧是，它所依赖的数据中心是能源密集型的。大部分计算仍然依赖化石燃料，但Selipsky表示，AWS正在努力改变这一状况，以符合亚马逊到2040年实现全公司净零碳排放的更大承诺。亚马逊的气候承诺是在2019年宣布的，就在员工因认为该公司在气候变化问题上不作为而计划罢工之前。</blockquote></p><p> \"Amazon intends to be 100% renewable energy by the year 2025 ... and we're already about two-thirds of the way there, so we're making significant progress,\" he said. \"Just given our size and our scale and the things like the data centers we operate, we really have to drive them with renewable energy in order to hit that [2040] goal. We're doing a lot of innovating ourselves, we're doing a lot of partnering with a lot of companies, a lot of governments, a lot of nonprofits to reach those goals.\"</p><p><blockquote>“亚马逊计划到2025年实现100%可再生能源……我们已经完成了大约三分之二，因此我们正在取得重大进展，”他说。“考虑到我们的规模和规模以及我们运营的数据中心等设施，我们确实必须使用可再生能源来驱动它们，以实现[2040年]目标。我们自己正在进行大量创新，我们正在与许多公司、许多政府、许多非营利组织进行大量合作，以实现这些目标。”</blockquote></p><p> Selipsky will have his first chance to address customers at AWS's annual cloud conference, Re:Invent, in Las Vegas later this month. He said customers should expect announcements in some of \"our oldest and most basic services, things like compute and databases and storage,\" as well as \"exciting announcements about higher level services and industry specific solutions.\"</p><p><blockquote>Selipsky将于本月晚些时候在拉斯维加斯举行的AWS年度云会议Re：Invent上首次有机会向客户发表讲话。他表示，客户应该期待一些“我们最古老和最基本的服务，例如计算、数据库和存储”的公告，以及“有关更高级别的服务和行业特定解决方案的令人兴奋的公告”。</blockquote></p><p> \"It's absolutely imperative that we continue to understand [customers'] evolving needs, which are changing very quickly, and we're going to evolve right along with them,\" he said.</p><p><blockquote>“我们绝对必须继续了解[客户]不断变化的需求，这些需求变化非常快，我们将随之发展，”他说。</blockquote></p><p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>He took charge of Amazon's biggest moneymaker.

The second, Adam Selipsky, was hired in March to fill Jassy's old role as CEO of Amazon's single biggest moneymaker: Amazon Web Services (AWS).\nSelipsky was no stranger to AWS. He first joined the Amazon cloud computing division in 2005, before its services were even publicly available. But in 2016, after 11 years with the company, he left. In the five years he was away running data visualization firm Tableau, the business and the industry changed considerably, bringing Selipsky a new set of challenges.\nAnnual revenue from AWS nearly quadrupled in that time, and the pandemic caused a huge surge in demand for cloud computing and cloud-based services. But the competitive landscape also intensified. While AWS pioneered cloud technology and is the longtime industry leader, rivals like Microsoft (MSFT) Azure and Google (GOOGL GOOGLE) Cloud have stolen some of its market share.\nOne of the first major hurdles for Selipsky is the battle, especially with Microsoft, for lucrative government cloud services contracts.\nIn 2019, Microsoft won a contract to modernize the Pentagon's IT infrastructure in a deal worth as much as $10 billion over 10 years, a major blow to AWS, which previously held a deal with the department. The contract was ultimately canceled after Amazon protested that former President Donald Trump had unfairly influenced the deal, but it signaled that AWS may no longer be the obvious choice for such major projects.\nNow, both companies are expected to bid — potentially along with others such as Google Cloud and Oracle — for the Defense Department's new Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) contract to replace the 2019 deal.\nBut in one of his first interviews since taking over as AWS CEO, Selipsky sounded confident about his company's prospects. The new AWS chief said he believes his company still has an edge over Microsoft in clinching government work.\n\"We really were the first in the cloud to have big, significant government contracts in every area of government and years before any of the competitors,\" he told CNN Business in an exclusive interview last week, which took place inside the new AWS Skills Center at the company's headquarters. \"We learned a lot about how to do cloud implementations and work very closely with federal government customers,\" he said.\nHe added: \"I think you'll find, particularly given our leadership position, that our competitors spend a lot more time talking and worrying about AWS than we do about them — we choose to focus on our customers.\"\n(While such contracts are good for business, some employees have previously taken issue with the company's work for certain government agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement — a dynamic that may only add to Selipsky's challenges in the role.)\nSelipsky said Amazon never anticipated being the only winner in the cloud. And the industry has certainly gotten large enough to accommodate more than one major player — public cloud spending is expected to reach more than $300 billion this year, according to Gartner estimates from April.\n\"In any fast growing, interesting market segment, there's going to be competition,\" he said. \"We've always thought there would be not a lot of winners, but a small handful of winners that emerge and have vigorous competition, and that's what we see. But we still are the significant leader.\"\nWe 'really encourage' employees speaking up\nShortly after Selipsky took charge of AWS, the business faced a different challenge from within. A group of employees circulated a petition alleging discrimination and harassment of women and minorities in one of the AWS business units, after which the company hired an outside firm to investigate. Similar employee activism has cropped up recently at Apple, Google and video game company Activision Blizzard.\nWhile some companies have appeared to chafe at employee organizing (AWS parent company Amazon has faced criticism for what some see as anti-union efforts), Selipsky said he thinks workers speaking up may ultimately be good for the business.\n\"I really like the fact that people are bringing their whole selves to work and that they're speaking out — we really encourage that,\" he said. \"I've found that if you have a really good process and really genuinely listen and show people that you're taking the time to listen, even when they disagree with you at the end of the day, we all can lock arms and move forward together.\"\nHe continued: \"I really welcome the fact that a lot of topics are being discussed today that maybe were discussed less in the workplace five, 10, 20 years ago.\"\nAnother growing concern with the cloud industry is that the data centers it relies on are energy intensive. Much of that computing is still reliant on fossil fuels, but Selipsky said AWS is working to change that in keeping with Amazon's larger promise to be net carbon zero across the company by 2040. Amazon's climate pledge was announced in 2019 just ahead of a planned walkout by employees over perceived inaction by the company on climate change.\n\"Amazon intends to be 100% renewable energy by the year 2025 ... and we're already about two-thirds of the way there, so we're making significant progress,\" he said. \"Just given our size and our scale and the things like the data centers we operate, we really have to drive them with renewable energy in order to hit that [2040] goal. We're doing a lot of innovating ourselves, we're doing a lot of partnering with a lot of companies, a lot of governments, a lot of nonprofits to reach those goals.\"\nSelipsky will have his first chance to address customers at AWS's annual cloud conference, Re:Invent, in Las Vegas later this month. He said customers should expect announcements in some of \"our oldest and most basic services, things like compute and databases and storage,\" as well as \"exciting announcements about higher level services and industry specific solutions.\"\n\"It's absolutely imperative that we continue to understand [customers'] evolving needs, which are changing very quickly, and we're going to evolve right along with them,\" he said.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AMZN":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2512,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"CN","currentLanguage":"CN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":6,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ZH_CN"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/875231787"}
