Salesforce announced this week that it has selected Amazon Web Services as its preferred public cloud infrastructure provider.
Salesforce claims that this will enable them to expand their infrastructure in their core services including Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, App Cloud, Community Cloud and Analytics Cloud. By bringing new infrastructure online, they aim to be quick and efficient in select international markets.
Many existing Salesforce services including Heroku, Marketing Cloud Social Studio, SalesforceIQ, and the recently announced Salesforce IoT Cloud already run on AWS infrastructure.
