At the end of 2021 Facebook announced they would begin to use more AWS services [0]. Now, I wouldn’t call it Facebook going full cloud and I definitely expect FB to continue to use on-prem for the majority of their compute/storage; but I think it’s worthwhile to note that even FB (which may be one of the largest private clouds) sees value in using cloud providers to supplement their on-prem solutions.
