That is based on huge assumptions, and it is unclear how the internal billing works (i.e is the Ad business consuming AWS services "free" or is there internal chargebacks happening). Is the AWS Revenue just from external customers using the services.

- yazaddaruvala 4y agoIt is not secret. There is an internal spreadsheet that documents all the prices. Everyone has access! Everyone I worked with at Amazon knew the prices they were spending for the different services they were using or thinking of using.
- nerdbert 4y agoHow could that work? Don't managers have budgets? Do they get drugged and blindfolded while their departments' AWS costs are deducted every month?
