It’s Mardi Gras time, and Amazon Web Services invites you to come learn about the magic taking place in the cloud with a Mardi Gras-inspired celebration. Amazon CTO Werner Vogels will kick off the evening highlighting recent innovations at AWS and then introduce Seattle’s newest addition to the local tech community - The Climate Corporation. The Climate Corporation combines Big Data, climatology and agronomy to protect the $3 trillion global agriculture industry with fully automated weather insurance products.
