Just because Amazon is down, doesn't mean the infrastructure is the reason. They did build AWS out of the technology they used to build Amazon, but its unclear if they are using it directly or use an isolated set of services.

Amazon uses AWS to host Amazon.com (retail), although you can imagine that they dodge the billing structure and have quite a number of resources dedicated away from the main AWS fleets.
