Sorry, that was poorly presented on my part. I believe the most recent estimate was around 2-3% of all internet traffic was served on a web server being hosted by Amazon.
I can’t find the original source, but this Quora post[0] and included primary source[1] suggest the same.

- latch 7y agoI'd be curious what type of insight they're getting from markets such as China, India, Russia, South America and SEA. I couldn't find much on their site. Their estimate could still be relevant for their target market, while being completely off globally. Also, only looking at public internet traffic is a mistake since this isn't solely where AWS is trying to compete. You need to consider _all_ hosting, including government, intranet and other private players, which AWS does attempt to capture.
- bransonf 7y agoThis is a really good point and really reinforces the take that Amazon isn’t as big as many of us believe.
