No, AWS was not unique. It became well-known because a) Amazon had the money to pump into marketing it, and Amazon was already a strong brand and b) aggressive integration of additional non-hosting services like S3 and Route53 made it a simple one-stop shop. They had the brand credit to get enterprise clients on the hook. As the rest of this thread is stating wrt DSC, the success is really only slightly related to the technology.
