Amazon is done with the “AWS Snowmobile” data-hauling 18-wheeler.
The company first rolled the semi-truck on-stage during a cloud computing event in 2016. It’s designed to get companies’ data into the cloud by transporting a 45-foot-long trailer full of hard drives to an Amazon data center.
But now, CNBC reports that Amazon has stopped offering Snowmobile’s service. A spokesperson tells CNBC that Amazon has “faster and easier” ways to transfer data to AWS.
