It means Amazon AWS is going to keep moving from bare VMs and storage all the way up through every component required to build on the web. And I should have been more clear. When I said relentless, I mean one should consider the possibility that they will move way beyond traditional definitions of hosting. Is it hard to imagine Amazon providing utility-priced anycast DNS? How about high volume email delivery? Why not a Ruby, PHP, or python hosting stack? Whole platforms, similar to Google Wave? Where's this leave startups? Mostly unchanged if they're looking at their markets with a very critical, paranoid eye.
