Amazon's cloud business grows almost 37%, but slows from last quarter
https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/04/28/aws-earnings-q1-2022.html
Amazon's cloud unit grew 36.5% year over year in the first quarter, a bit faster than analysts projected.
Brian Olsavsky (CFO) -
“We saw another strong quarter of innovation and customer engagement in the AWS segment, where net sales were $18.4 billion in Q1, up 37% year over year and now represent an annualized sales run rate of nearly $74 billion.”
“I mean, we're continuing to see what the backlog is, right? It's the increase of AWS customers making long-term commitments for AWS. At the March period ended, we had $88.9 billion balance for that. So that's up about 68% year over year.
And the weighted average remaining kind of life term for those is 3.8 years.”

Satya Nadella - “This quarter, we helped more customers than ever, simplifying and accelerating their cloud migrations. And it's still early days.” & “As a percentage of GDP, tech spend is, on a secular basis, by the end of the decade, going to double.”
Satya continuously doubles down on “Data & AI” -
“Data and AI for sure. I mean, the thing that I find really to be something that I think is a long run is going to probably be one of the bigger drivers of our growth and differentiation is our data fabric because we're the only guys who have a complete data fabric from the operational store, that's fully integrated into an analytics engine, that's fully integrated into governance.”
