[AWSReInventPartnerSessions2024] Catalyzing Smart Mobility Adoption in Automotive Ecosystems through Cloud Center of Excellence Methodologies
Lecturer
Jason Tan represents Intel within automotive technology partnerships, emphasizing edge-to-cloud computational synergies. Anas Jaber contributes AWS expertise in industry-specific cloud maturity acceleration.
Abstract
This extensive analytical treatment examines the automotive sector’s transition toward sustainable, connected, and personalized mobility paradigms, projecting electric vehicle penetration at thirty-five percent by 2030 and 863 million connected vehicles by 2035. It details Intel-AWS collaboration with a prominent Asian original equipment manufacturer to establish a robust Cloud Center of Excellence, overcoming initial resistance through structured governance, phased migration, and comprehensive data fabric implementation. Architectural patterns for IoT ingestion, serverless processing, and machine learning integration illustrate scalable innovation pathways.
Macro-Trends and Operational Challenges in Automotive Digital Transformation
The automotive industry undergoes profound restructuring driven by sustainability imperatives, connectivity proliferation, and personalization expectations. Electric vehicles emerge as dominant choice factors, bolstered by governmental incentives and expanding charging infrastructure. Connected vehicle projections anticipate near-universal network integration within fifteen years.
Transformation imperatives encompass solution scalability to accommodate exponential data growth, data-to-action translation interconnecting providers, consumers, and service entities, and security assurance given pervasive connectivity risks.
Intel and AWS maintain eighteen-year strategic alignment: seventy percent of AWS instances operate on Intel processors, joint optimizations deliver superior total-cost-of-ownership, and marketplace extensions enhance service accessibility.
Cloud Center of Excellence Establishment and Phased Implementation
The Asian OEM partnership constructs a comprehensive Cloud Center of Excellence integrating centralized policy enforcement with decentralized execution autonomy.
Governance foundations include landing zone standardization, guardrail automation, and cost allocation transparency. Migration orchestration progresses through repatriation waves for optimization followed by native redesign embracing serverless and microservices paradigms.
Data fabric architecture unifies ingestion via Kinesis, storage within S3, processing through EMR, analytics using Athena and QuickSight, and machine learning via SageMaker. Smart mobility manifests through IoT Core telemetry collection, Lambda orchestration, DynamoDB persistence, and Cognito authentication.

Edge computing via Greengrass processes locally critical functions, synchronizing periodically through Snowball Edge. FinOps dashboards visualize expenditure patterns while anomaly detection flags deviations.
Organizational Change Management and Standardization Imperatives
Executive commitment to industry consortia accelerates interoperability standards development, addressing architectural fragmentation and application portability constraints. Change management emphasizes education, training, and cultural alignment to mitigate resistance.
Outcomes include accelerated cloud adoption, elevated customer satisfaction, and foundational infrastructure for continuous mobility innovation. The paradigm extends beyond automotive to any sector pursuing connectivity-driven differentiation.
