Funny, because I always think of Amazon is as a "non-cloud" company, especially when most think of it as a place to shop. Of course, I know it's not. Seriously

Seriously though, fujifilm is a conglomerate and known for their pivots. If they did not reinvent themselves, the would have been joining Kodak.
- paxys 5y agoThis is actually somewhat true at all major cloud companies. Google, Microsoft and Amazon all have very limited usage of their own commercial cloud services among engineering teams.
- sterlind 5y agoI'm not sure about Google, but at MS we absolutely use our own cloud heavily. sometimes there's big legacy stuff, but nowadays most of that has gone onto Azure under the hood. I've heard Amazon is much the same way. the only exception I can really think of is infrastructure that you need to recover from disasters, which isn't on Azure for obvious bootstrapping reasons.
- paxys 5y agoUntil I was at Microsoft a few years ago there was always a struggle to get internal teams to use Azure. There were constant talks to get O365 and Bing (so, the bulk of internet-facing servers) on Azure, but nothing never materialized. I have heard Google is a lot worse in this regard.
