Amazon is committed to reaching net-zero carbon across its business by 2040 , staying on path to power its operations with 100 % renewable energy by 2025 , and being water positive by 2030
In Ireland and Sweden , no water is used to cool its data centres for 95 % of the year
Across several geographic regions , moving on-premises workloads to AWS can lower the workload carbon footprint by nearly 80 % and up to 96 % once AWS is powered with 100 % renewable energy , by 2025

Another benefit is improving IT productivity . By harmonising the management of all their IT facilities , IT teams gain significant benefit from using a single management platform , common tools , services , and APIs . “ Using AWS , a common set of administration tools , services and processes can be used by all staff regardless of where resources are deployed ,” Tucker alludes . “ This avoids the need to operate different management platforms depending on what and where services are running , saving time , resources , and having to maintain knowledge and skills across different environments .”
Hybrid cloud infrastructures also allow IT teams to build differentiated services and improve end user experience . Extending the cloud and deploying applications to edge locations can dramatically improve services that are latency dependent . Latency can play a massive part in affecting the user experience , especially for applications involving interactivity including AR / VR , gaming , connected vehicles , smart factories and live video streaming .
