> Now the question part: would Amazon ever secretly run Amazon.com in a multi-cloud setup, balancing between AWS, GCE, Azure, etc?

I'm not sure how secretive it would be. AWS 'bids' on Amazon.com's business and Amazon.com is under no obligation to use AWS as it's cloud service provider.

Id would be pretty hard to hide if Amazon.com's images are severed from Azure ip addresses...

They're more than big enough to be bringing their own public IP blocks to a provider and having them announce with BGP.

Hell, even us regular joes can do that with services like Packet.Net or Vultr.
