This seems sufficiently unlikely that I wonder if something has been lost in translation.
My guess would be that Lidl does expect to do something innovative in e-commerce (around, say, augmented reality) and is planning to offer that as a service to other retailers, hence the comparison with Amazon's strategy. I can't believe that Lidl is planning to compete with S3 or EC2.
- onion2k 6y agoIt's Lidl's parent company that's launching the service, after buying a cloud provider. The headline is just stupid. It's equivalent to an article titled "Whole Foods runs AWS".
- luckylion 6y agoNo. Whole Foods is one of many Amazon ventures, but not the most significant. Supermarkets (Lidl and Kaufland chains, mostly) are the main business of Schwarz Group. It's more like saying "Google will do X" when it's technically Alphabet that spawns X.
