President Beep posted:

from a layperson’s pov (ie, mine), aws seems to make a strange bedfellow with amazon’s more visible role as a retail outlet for physical products and digital content. does this seem kind of odd to anyone else?

did they already have the infrastructure and then think “gently caress it, let’s let folks rent these assets” or is there more intent behind this diversification?

yeah aws was a way to recoup the cost of the infrastructure needed to handle the Christmas rush
