Amazon's cloud business grew 27% in Q3, the slowest pace since disclosing that number in 2014.
CFO Brian Olsavsky said the growth rate was even lower in the back-end of the third quarter.
On Thursday, Amazon's cloud business reported a 27% revenue growth rate for the third quarter, the slowest expansion since the company started disclosing the number in 2014.
During Thursday's analyst call, Olsavsky said AWS's growth rate decelerated as the third quarter progressed, falling down to the "mid-20% growth rate" in the latter part of the period.
To help those customers, AWS is offering lower-priced options and a more cost-efficient chip processor service, he said.
