Amazon is kicking off its annual security-focused cloud computing conference amid a slowdown in its profitable cloud business Amazon Web Services, or AWS.

AWS is the market leader in the cloud arena, and its customers include some of the world’s biggest businesses and organizations, such as Netflix, Coca-Cola and government agencies.

It has also paused expansion on its Fresh supermarkets as it aims to find the right formula that will allow it to scale its business.
