This is more an AWS thing, I imagine, where the business is providing the client with cloud computing resources in a secure and efficient manner. That at least seems to be a straightforward goal (although I wonder about how their billing really works under the hood, I imagine there are ways to push customers into more expensive tiers than they really need).

Amazon, the warehouse & shipping outfit, is riven with conflicting interests and is probably something of a nightmare to work as a dev at because of that. Current legislation exposes this:

> "The bill, co-sponsored by Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) would stop sites including Amazon and Google from giving their own products a leg up in search results. (NYPost Jun 2022)"

Also, consider the people responsible for Amazon's "Time on Task" warehouse worker monitoring system... kind of sadistic at best.
