Just EC2 networking (VPC) is several hundred, maybe 1000 employees. My guess at the total headcount for EC2 would be several thousand employees. Source: worke

Source: worked as an engineer at Amazon, including EC2 for 5 years.
- speedgoose 6y agoSome cloud providers have a lot fewer employees and are doing well. They don't have as many features compared to EC2 and VPC but it's not a major problem for them.
- discodave 6y agoIf you're talking about GCP, and MS, then they have thousands of engineers too. If you're talking about Digital Ocean, Mongo, and other medium sized players, then I only give them a couple more years before things get really ugly.
- speedgoose 6y agoYes I'm thinking about smaller players. I would bet GCP will be cancelled before most of the small players give up.
- oblio 6y agoGCP is moving the corporate needle. Not a lot, but it is. It won't be cancelled.
- oblio 6y agoYeah, but are they doing "$35 billion per year"-well? :-)
