Why don't they use EC2 instead of building a data center? That way there's no big up-front cost.

- untog 15y agoDon't they already use EC2? It isn't the answer to everything. In fact, it's the answer to far fewer things than people think. EC2 is great because, as you say, it has no big up-front cost. But when you start scaling it isn't actually very affordable.
