AMP, as pushed by Google, is essentially Google re-hosting a pared-down, mobile-friendly version of your site.

Alex Kras has two blog posts that got a lot of traction early on that highlighted some issues with this trend [1] [2].

Essentially Google only allow Google-hosted AMP content in their search carousel. You could create an AMP (or otherwise fast) page on your own CDN and Google won't show it unless it's on their domain.
