"Citigroup downgraded Amazon's stock yesterday based on the price cuts it instituted on its Amazon Web Services division."

As usual, analysts don't understand Amazon's long term strategy. AWS is a brilliant move, and create an incredibly powerful vendor lock-in.

I can't imagine migrating our infrastructure to any another vendor, even if there was a similar offering (there isn't), at a lower cost. The level of flexibility, scalability and efficiency via automation is light years ahead of everyone else.


They should make a new commercial about their packages being delivered in 8 minutes by angels and flying potatoes.
