These events don't get booked with only a day's notice. And even if that was the case, Amazon knew when Google's event was, and they could have published their new pricing a day before that, and followed up at the event.
At their last event, Amazon only dropped the prices of services which have a direct Google equivalent. To me, that's telling.

- patrickaljord 12y agoExactly. Plus Amazon is the market leader so they have little reasons to drop prices like that not to mention that as the article say, their other business (amazon.com) doesn't bring them huge profit. Google on the other hand doesn't care as Ads is their true money maker, they can afford to have little to no margin on their cloud offering.
