What Amazon CTO Werner Vogels' predictions for 2022 mean for Startups

As Amazon's CTO since 2005, Werner Vogels has observed macro trends around the technology industry, giving him a unique perspective to distinguish substantive progress from mere fads. He recently published his views on what he sees in store in 2022 for cloud technology and the technology world in general.

I think his analysis provides takeaways for startups overall and where they might seek to create value in the next year.
