Would you have said the same thing about Amazon when they started AWS? "Data centers aren't their core business: retail is".

Yes. But, Amazon is known for their customer service, even in the AWS space. Google is not.

If Google wants to succeed in certain spaces, they need to commit to them for a duration, and evangelize them. I don't see them doing that anywhere as well as Amazon does with AWS.

Are they known for the customer service with AWS?

Anyways both companies provide SLAs, phone and email support, and consultation for a price.
