TL;DR on AWS
- $1.57b in revenue in Q12015 on $22.72B total ($5B annualized for AWS)
- $265m in operating income (net loss for Amazon as a whole was $57m)
Looks like revenue was slightly lower but operating income quite a bit higher than most Wall Street estimates.
- usaphp 11y agoI just don't understand when people use TL;DR and comment on an article they have not even read.
- Aldo_MX 11y agoIt's a way to say "to people not interested in reading the entire article, this is the most important information:"
- mblevin 11y agoYep - the article itself isn't terrible exciting outside of the core AWS numbers, but this now serves as the place for the HN community to talk about it - because the numbers are what's interesting.
