One of the things I always tell my engineers is rather than being in the data center at 3 o'clock in the morning and to some sort of weird change control, doing some sort of maintenance, wouldn't you rather be much closer to the actual outputs that you are delivering, making that experience really real for customers?"

-Jonathan Allen, Director, AWS Enterprise Strategy
