Amazon 2010 cloud revenues $500m, 50% growth rate
- abhijitr 16y agoAccording to those estimates, the margins on AWS will actually increase from ~11% today to ~15% in 2014. It seems more likely that cloud computing will trend towards commoditization, and margins will collapse over time. Amazon is trying to preempt this with proprietary technologies like SimpleDB and SQS, but I question whether companies will opt in to that kind of vendor lock-in en masse.
- bad_user 16y agoI hope they'll still continue to improve on EC2 / RDS. Fear of vendor lock-in is the reason I'm trying them out for my current project instead of Google's App Engine.
