AWS had and probably still has the least interesting and immature way of investing in new products of any organization with the resources it has. Apart from the early wave of AWS products virtually everything has been a dud. There are so many random AWS products that are live but basically dead because Amazon/AWS never invested enough into them. Totally predictable outcome. I’m not sure why Bezos made Andy Jassy CEO.

Their business models has always been basically MS's strategy: Build out a massive sales and consulting organization, and then build products so that sales people can generate feature matrices to compare themselves with the competition. I'm certain they're keenly aware that they build shit products -- but they know that the majority of their customers are willing to pay a premium for a worse product if it means avoiding talking to finance and ensuring compliance for any external vendor.
