If Google had self hosted on GCP the way that Bezos dictated that Amazon have hard service boundaries, they would be the top Cloud provider right now.
But they didn't and they aren't, and it doesn't matter anymore.

- sitkack 2y agoI'll reply to myself since the parent comment is unalived. I am not trying to generate a phylogenetic tree of cloud services, but show organizational shift that allowed Amazon (the whole company) to be successful by enforcing cell walls. We would agree that Amazon is a services platform? Both in retail as well as cloud? GCP itself is an application that rides on Borg, but Google itself does not use GCP. So it never got the recursive self improvement effect that Amazon did.
- scarface_74 2y agoI killed my reply because it was repetitive with my other reply and not well thought out in hindsight. But I will agree that Amazon is a services platform internally and externally. But Amazon for the most part doesn’t run on AWS either and never at any point has Amazon Retail (CDO) and AWS shared any underlying architecture not even to the point that another commenter here who worked at Google described about GCP. Some of the new initiatives might. But AWS treats Amazon Retail as a customer and I heard ruminations that AWS Commercial Professional Services (the consulting division) even got involved with Amazon Retail projects or migrations. I worked in the public sector division of ProServe (WWPS).
- sitkack 2y agoSounds like Amazon has it figured out way better than GCP and Google.
