Amazon cuts hundreds of jobs in cloud business

Amazon has announced that it is cutting hundreds of jobs in its cloud business as part of a reorganization to focus on more profitable areas. The move will impact employees in various departments, including sales, marketing, and engineering.

Despite the job cuts, Amazon’s cloud business, Amazon Web Services (AWS), remains a dominant player in the cloud computing market. The company has seen significant growth in recent years, but is facing increased competition from other tech giants like Microsoft and Google.

Amazon has said that it is working to help affected employees find new roles within the company or provide support as they transition to new opportunities outside of Amazon. The company is also continuing to hire in other areas of its business.

Overall, the job cuts are seen as a strategic move by Amazon to streamline its operations and focus on areas where it sees the most potential for growth and profitability.
