Not accurate to say that Amazon is selling its own infrastructure, or not accurate to say that they had the internal competencies to launch AWS due to building their own infrastructure? I've always assumed it's the latter -- AWS is an abstraction of tools they needed to build anyway -- rather than literally sharing compute etc. with Amazon services.
