These analytic and AI services from AWS will be huge hits. Here's why ZDNet

Amazon Web Services CEO Andy Jassy introduced a bevy of new services and capabilities at the AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas this week. The new analytic and artificial intelligence (AI) services aren't unique, but there's little doubt they'll be huge hits. Jassy framed his announcements around the theme of giving enterprises "superpowers." Examples included powerful new compute instances supporting superhero-like speed, new database services enabling "flight" from the high cost of commercial databases, and new IoT services enabling "shapeshifting" out to the edge of the enterprise. I was most interested in the "X-Ray Vision" introductions, which included Athena and QuickSight analytic services and Rekognition, Polly and Lex artificial intelligence (AI) services.
