The AWS cloud platform allows researchers to quickly and affordably access the latest versions of many resources that may otherwise be difficult to use. This level of availability promotes deployment of new ideas or services that might have taken months or years to achieve in other circumstances.
As a result, it is possible to expedite the prototyping of an idea to discover its feasibility without incurring lasting costs or irreversible investment.
Likewise, other stages of the scientific research cycle such as analysis and validation are expedited. By reducing the time to deploy and run your experiment, AWS increases the time you can spend developing new ideas or completing analysis, which allows scientific goals to be reached rapidly.
