I know from experience that Amazon engineers are responsible for the services they build. Amazon's motto is to push more operational tasks to the owners while providing them with great(?) monitoring and debugging tools to ease the load. There was also a Netflix talk about it's approach to operations which was very similar to Amazon's. I feel the way Netflix organizes it's general software processes is a mirror of that at Amazon's .... maybe partly due to the AWS influence.
