Hi, some obligatory HN nay-saying here. I feel like alternatives to all these services exist already. What AWS provides is packaging and integration. If I want S3, I can use one of several distributed filestores. If I want EBS, I can use one of several network disk systems.

People are paying for the service, not the infrastructure.
