The first AWS service was launched over 15 years after Amazon.com started selling books on the Internet. It wasn’t even a separate brand until after Amazon S3, SQS and EC2 were launched.
- adventured 7y ago> The first AWS service was launched over 15 years after Amazon.com started selling books on the Internet. Close. It was roughly 11 years. I've been using Amazon AWS since early 2007; I believe it launched to the public in the form we know today in early 2006. They started selling books online to the public in mid 1995. If you go back to the very first AWS services - 2002 - it's closer to being only seven years.
