- ojbyrne 11y agoI think you misread the AWS growth paragraph, it is 78% year over year: "Amazon reported net AWS sales of $2.085 billion, up from $1.169 billion in the same quarter a year earlier. That’s a 78% jump in net sales for the company’s AWS business, which it started breaking out earlier this year. It’s even a big quarter-over-quarter jump: Amazon $1.82 billion in net sales for AWS in the previous quarter. It’s reporting $5.5 billion in AWS net sales for the first nine months of the year, compared to $3.2 billion in the first nine months of the year prior."
- dkyc 11y agoYou got that first one wrong, the 78% figure was yearly growth. AWS grew roughly 14% quarter-over-quarter: "Amazon reported net AWS sales of $2.085 billion, up from $1.169 billion in the same quarter a year earlier. That’s a 78% jump in net sales for the company’s AWS business, which it started breaking out earlier this year. It’s even a big quarter-over-quarter jump: Amazon $1.82 billion in net sales for AWS in the previous quarter."
