The technology allows subscribers to have at their disposal a virtual cluster of computers, available all the time, through the Internet.

The browser acts as a window into the virtual computer, letting subscribers log-in, configure and use their virtual systems just as they would a real physical computer. They can choose to deploy their AWS systems to provide internet-based services for themselves and their customers.

In the past, I've focused heavily on Amazon's digital ad business, which now operates at about a $40B/year annualized run rate and just grew 20%+. And while I believe Amazon's ad business has a very long runway for growth still ahead, I've come to believe that AWS is a $1T+ business alone. Despite near term growth headwinds, AWS still has a very long runway for growth ahead, suggesting that it will very likely reaccelerate growth.
