Amazon lost money for a long time and both private and public investors were fairly forgiving. More importantly, GCP is not "eating up" Amazon's revenue. Both are growing very fast because the entire market is growing very fast.

There is a limit though. There's only so much compute and storage required at current prices.

That's easy.

They are picking up enterprise customers left and right. The strategy there is easy.. just go up the stack and peddle solutions built on AWS. Oracle makes billions selling crap the customer never install, much less use.
