WordPress and AWS

April 14, 2023August 16, 2021 Brent W. Peterson

This week we start a series of interviews on Amazon Web Services and how it has helped merchants and content providers save money and increase performance by using Amazon Web Services.

I am interviewing David Arago and we are featuring these bonus episodes from different brewpubs. This brings out an honest conversation on moving to the cloud and you will hear how cloud services will save time, money and add tons of flexibility! I am using a new ZoomP4 recording device and this was my first time using it. I did not bring a change of batteries. It did not change the quality of the recording, but it did allow us to go out, get batteries and get a second beer.

I am currently looking for subject matter experts in this field to talk about different aspects of AWS. Please go to Talk-Commerce.com/lets-talk and start a conversation! This episode was recorded on August 6th, 2021
