I wonder how AWS market share will be impacted by startup's going through a bear market. No doubt AWS has a big enterprise component that should weather fine, but they're also generally the default 1st choice for a lot much smaller more vulnerable shops.
- banana_giraffe 7y agoI wonder myself. AWS has been pushing out more changes to their "IP Ranges" file recently. I've been keeping count, just to make sure it's not me inventing a thing: 2020-01-05, 5 2020-01-12, 6 2020-01-19, 9 2020-01-26, 3 2020-02-02, 3 2020-02-09, 4 2020-02-16, 2 2020-02-23, 8 2020-03-01, 3 2020-03-08, 9 2020-03-15, 2 2020-03-22, 4 2020-03-29, 15 2020-04-05, 7 Per week, there's much more activity recently, and some digging into it suggests they are bringing in more IPs. Could mean they're busier, or could just be longer term plans coming to fruition now.
- user5994461 7y agoThey're obviously busier and bringing in more resources, considering the recent news of the clouds running out of capacity.

- nostrademons 7y agoI suspect that true startups (i.e. pre-Series-B companies) are rounding error in AWS earnings. They give out $100K-$1M credits like candy to accelerators as a loss-leader to get startup business. Growth companies (like unicorns) might be a hefty chunk, but I suspect that a lot of Amazon's revenue comes from Fortune-500 companies, academic research labs, and other major tech companies (like Netflix or Snapchat) that don't run their own clouds.
