Growth at any cost: Mercenaries vs. Missionaries
summary
AWS now exposes 80+ services beyond raw compute, claims to ship 780 new features this year, and reports large migrations such as GE moving 9,000 workloads and consolidating 30 of 34 data centers. Cloud removes non‑differentiating plumbing (certified stacks reduce compliance costs), enables startups like Airbnb, Oscar Health, Mondo and Klarna to scale globally, and adopts an edge pattern: train ML and process data in the cloud, then deploy models to devices.
