AWS head says Amazon needs to be more vocal about data center services: 'Do you not want to use Netflix?'
AWS CEO Matt Garman said Amazon needs to be more clear in how it talks about the benefits of data centers.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) CEO Matt Garman has called for the company to be more vocal about the role of data centers in supporting everyday services, such as Netflix. He believes Amazon should focus on how data centers contribute to the functioning of services that Americans rely on, even as they face opposition from some communities.
Garman previously warned that data center moratoriums could set the US back by decades, and he advised the company to be more upfront about the benefits that data centers bring to local communities. According to a recent Fox News survey, over 70% of registered voters oppose building AI data centers in their areas. Garman emphasized that Amazon's presence in these communities also leads to lower tax bills for residents.
