FWIW 100% of the Amazon retail website is run on EC2 (and iirc it's 100% on spot instances too). (There are of course lots of internal services that still use non-ec2 capacity but fewer and fewer every day.)

note though it is not 100% AWS, ex they use Akamai instead of cloudfront

I don't think the spot thing is accurate. Amazon retail EC2 capacity is more like reserved instances.
