It is splashing the cash in the data centers, the hardware, the chips and the network of networks to further sit the foundations to serve what expects to be a gigantic demand wave. That is a great disbursement for the stomach from time to time a waiting game before it obtains a positive financial performance of the investment.
“Amazon insists that I would not spend that money unless it was sure that customers call their door. Predicts that virtually all applications that exists today will reinvent themselves with the heart.
“Investors have nervous people about the gigantic spending for the jam tomorrow. It does not help today's jam is not as sweet as they would like. The growth of AWS sales in the last quarter was a fraction below the market expectations, extending a similar trend seen by Microsoft and Alphabet for the disappointment of cloud computing. ”
