10. Experience with Cloud Security
“Based on our experience, I believe that we can be even more secure in the
AWS cloud than in our own data centers.” – Tom Soderstrom, CTO, NASA JPL
AWS provides the same, familiar approaches to security that companies
have been using for decades with increased visibility, control, and auditability.

11. Experience with Operational Reliability
• We have spent over a decade building the world’s most reliable, secure, scalable,
and cost-effective infrastructure.
• Service SLAs between 99.9% and 100% availability. Amazon S3 maintains a
durability of 99.999999999%.
• Availability Zones exist on isolated fault lines, flood plains, and electrical grids to
substantially reduce the chance of simultaneous failure.
• The AWS Service Health Dashboard provides 24/7 visibility in the real-time
operational status of all services around the globe.
We are driven to remove any all causes of failure.
Our goal is to make our operational performance indistinguishable from perfect.
