Amazon seems to be having success selling AWS as a landing point for things that are predictable and don&#x27;t need instant scaling.<p>Edit: The context here is about non-tech Fortune 500 companies, Government Agencies, etc...and the very large amount of existing &quot;non cloud&quot; opportunity they present for the likes of Amazon.  Think General Mills, American Airlines, CVS, Kroger, etc.<p>For example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aws.amazon.com&#x2F;solutions&#x2F;case-studies&#x2F;dole&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aws.amazon.com&#x2F;solutions&#x2F;case-studies&#x2F;dole&#x2F;</a><p>Sure, it&#x27;s odd they think running Sharepoint on AWS is saving them money, but they moved :)
