Amazin' Amazon?

Amazon's big money maker is _not_ retail.
Wait, Amazon's big money maker isn't retail?

Digital storage.
Cloud computing.
Amazon Web Services.

According to two Amazon documentaries, one on CNN, one Frontline on PBS, Amazon's big money maker comes from companies and agencies hiring Amazon to store their data.

Major clients: US government agencies, Conde Naste magazines, PBS. Not CNN?

 In 2017, Amazon was hired for storage by the Central Intelligence Agency.
Do you read Wired, The New Yorker, or Vogue? They are Conde Nast publications.

Outages, past?

Too big to fail?
