SHOW NOTES:

IF ONLY 10-15% OF APPS ARE IN THE CLOUD, HAVE WE CROSSED THE CHASM?

  • AWS is $85B/yr business, after 17 years
  • AWS claims that 10-15% of IT is in the cloud
  • AWS has attracted startups, and mostly competes against legacy IT companies

AWS MOATS AND WHAT MIGHT COME NEXT?

  • Amazon/AWS has always made large CAPEX investments
  • AWS claims to have the largest farm of GPUs, and ARM servers
  • Open source projects are moving to licensing that reduces competition from AWS
  • AWS growth rate has been slowing since Q4 2021
  • Innovation? Application Portfolio? Pricing vs. Profitability?
  • AWS has done limited acquisitions and partners are kept at arms-length (vs. OpenAI / MSFT)
  • AWS seems to be behind in the AI race, although still very early in the market maturity
  • AWS doesn’t have a large set of “owned/branded” applications
  • What does a future AWS look like that is mostly infrastructure?
