Amazon 2014Q2 marginalia
I took a look at Amazon’s recent earnings call transcript. Not as details-rich as CA’s, and more widely covered, but some little bits and pieces here.
See the stand-alone HTML file in my dropbox share, and the raw markdown file if you prefer that.
I’m still looking for a better way to render there if anyone has ideas.

How do you lock or freeze one top row in an excel spreadsheet?
Well that makes a lot of fucking sense…like most things in Excel of Mac.
I was on The New Stack Analyst podcast today along with Nancy Gohring, one of the tech reports who’s work I’ve always enjoyed, and, of course, Alex Williams.
We discuss Nancy’s recent piece on Azure cloud seeming to grow faster than Amazon’s cloud, the problem with figuring comparisons like this out, some different scenarios for big cloud vendor success and failure based on where the packaged software market goes, and then DaaS and WaaS. The last is a topic I know less about than I’d like, but that never stops a analyst from talking about a topic…at length.
Pretty wide-ranging topics, but all trying to sort through what “IT” is becoming with all this cloud nonsense running around.
My connection was slow so I shut down my video. Enjoy milkman meets pie man.

We all use the same type of data center, same type of hardware more or less, there’s definitely margin on the cogs of operating those goods.
However, a source familiar with Dropbox’s current strategy said the company lately has been moving more of its IT infrastructure away from AWS and onto its own turf. There are now 10,000 servers in Dropbox facilities running loads that had been on Amazon EC2, although it’s not clear what percentage of Dropbox’s computing requirements that represents. Dropbox is currently storing data both in its own data centers and on Amazon S3 until the end of the year, this source said.
