I have a good handle on how the customer base for cloud computing services perceives cloud vendors and aws is way ahead of everyone else by a mile.

This is because they have a far better and complete platform, and it appears to be better engineered too with fewer of the downtime incidents we’ve been seeing at the other vendors.

Why do you suspect this is? Let me tell you. Amazon had better people. Full stop.

It’s random. You might as well read chicken entrails; at least then there’d be less racial and gender bias in the process.
