Amazon Web Services installing Macs to enable remote Apple app development
- Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) are teaming on a new
cloud computing offering using Mac OS, a move to support a growing
customer audience developing apps for Apple devices.
- Amazon Web Services will make Apple computers available in its data
centers, starting with the Mac Mini.
- That will enable Apple developers to create and test apps remotely
rather than maintaining their own machines. And those developers could
help
feed Apple's increasing pivot toward software and services.
- And it offers an edge (for now) over big-cloud rivals Microsoft
(NASDAQ:MSFT) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL), which don't yet offer access to
Macs.
- The initial computers will be a version of Mac Mini that has been
previously available - they've just been adapted to work with Amazon's
cloud and security infrastructure, and have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned
off
- but those will be updated as Apple launches new equipment (and Apple
just
unveiled a Mac Mini powered by its own M1 chip).
