- thewhitetulip 7y agoBut I don't understand why they'd care. I can run websites on any cloud.
- Analemma_ 7y agoBecause Amazon uses the profits from AWS to keep running their retail business at a loss and suffocate all competition in that space. It's not hard to understand why retail companies don't want to spend cash on their own destruction.

- nolok 7y agoBecause if you can run websites on any cloud, then they don't want you to run them on the one that funds their rival's expansion.
- solidasparagus 7y agoThis is true for every major cloud provider. Certain industries are unwilling to use certain clouds because it is funding their competitors.
