AMAZON LOOSING AI CLOUD WAR

Amazon basically invented the modern cloud.
AWS tore apart the old data center model, sold computing like electricity, and became Amazon’s money machine. For years, if you were serious about building software, you went to AWS.
Full stop.

But now?
For the first time, people inside the industry are asking:
“Is AWS… slipping?”

Here’s why.

First: one of the worst outages in AWS history.
A huge cluster of Amazon data centers went down for about 15 hours, and it took out trading platforms, school systems, even utility payments in Seattle.
That’s not just bad PR — that’s trust damage.

Second: AI.
Three years into the AI boom, everyone says AWS is behind.
Google just agreed to supply up to 1 million AI chips to Anthropic — the same startup Amazon put billions into. Amazon spent the money, Google’s getting the workload.

Meanwhile, Microsoft’s cloud is growing faster than AWS.
Oracle is suddenly winning giant AI deals.
Startups that used to default to “just run it on AWS” are starting on Google instead.

Inside Amazon, it’s panic mode.
They’ve reorganized teams, ripped out bureaucracy, killed dozens of slow-moving products, and are rushing new AI tools like Bedrock and Quick Suite to market — even if they’re not perfect yet.

Here’s the real question:
Does AWS stay the backbone of the internet in the AI era…
or does it become just another cloud vendor in a world it created?
