Amazon Zoom: This Is Just Not Important, Right?
December 2, 2020
“Zoom and Amazon Extend Partnership for the Future of Online Communication” explains that “Zoom is coming to an Amazon Echo Show.” Makes sense, right? The article reports:
The new collaboration extends the companies’ existing relationship, which will now see AWS working to expand and scale Zoom’s services to meet customer demand.
What does the write up omit? A couple of things; for instance:
- What type of data will Amazon AWS log files capture?
- How quickly will AWS “zoomification” diffuse to other video applications?
- What Zoom data will be subject to cross correlation in Amazon’s streaming data marketplace?
No answers in the write up or from either Amazon or Zoom yet. This announcement is not important, right?
