Lmao what... Amazon literally started as a bookstore, tf are you talking about?

### REPLY:
And then expanded to other retail products, and along the way, determined that to effectively run a retail distribution service, they needed lots of proceduralized internal services. AWS began as simply opening up those services to the public. It would be no different than if Walmart decided to sell it's excess capacity in it's warehouses and supply chain. That doesn't mean they completely changed their business, only expanded it. Amazon still sells books...
