- dijit 5y agoThen don't host with so many people? I don't think people care that AWS has other customers, they want their workload to work, if it doesn't: then that's a today issue.
- grumple 5y agoI'm not sure your reply makes sense, seems like a non-sequiter. Individual companies might require thousands of servers and not want then running all the time. This means they either maintain thousands of servers on premises, or they use aws and auto scale. This has nothing to do with aws having other customers, and everything to do with only wanting to pay for and maintain as little as possible while being able to serve your applications.
