Commenting on the company’s positive growth, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy emphasized that “our AWS growth continued to stabilize.” Notably, the operating income for AWS saw a substantial uptick, reaching $7.0 billion, a notable increase from the $5.4 billion reported during the same period the previous year.
AWS attributed much of its success to a new strategic partnership with Anthropic, aimed at advancing generative AI. Additionally, AWS gained a handful of new and renewed high-profile customers, including BMW Group, UK bank NatWest, and international energy company Occidental.
