A "cryptographically verified transaction log" seems like a much better alternative for almost all private blockchain use cases I've seen (there aren't many that make sense).
It's cool that AWS offering a productized version of Ethereum for customers who want it, but I imagine once people get past the buzzwords, it makes much more sense to have something centralized, or use a secure public blockchain like Ethereum / Bitcoin for public auditing.
