Comparing Ethereum to AWS is an apples and oranges comparison at best. One is first order, and the other is second order.

You could make an argument it’s a competitor to AWS Lambda, but it would be akin to saying lxc is a serverless competitor.

I'm not comparing them, Ethereum marketing team pitched Ethereum as a world computer not me.
