The focus was S3 - storage service, EC2 - their compute cloud, their queuing system, and their flexible payment system. The EC2 is very similar to having a Linux box in a colocation facility. This would seem to be a good case for us to separate off matching and making that a more scalable operation on EC2.

Furthermore, due to the modestly rushed nature (at least on our side) of Round 12, we elected to not capture Amazon EC2 results for this Round.

I was also surprised by the performance improvement on dedicated hardware as compared to EC2 instances of roughly 10x.

“By the way, back then it was just Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud [EC2] and both ‘Elastic’ and ‘Cloud’ were candidate key terms. I taught a somewhat crazy course about writing and deploying a scalable website in Ruby on Rails and deploying it in EC2. The term ‘cloud computing’ only caught on much later.

What’s astonishing and few other than those who lived it as startups (I launched my second startup in this era) realize is how profound of an impact that rise of Amazon AWS (S3 & EC2) had on the startup market. The “A Round” of my startup in 1999 was $16.5 million and my A Round in 2005 was only $500,000 (and that’s all I ever raised).

They then launched processing capabilities (EC2) and we startups suddenly didn’t need to buy production servers. Every startup I knew in 2005 (when I started my second company) was using this. Why would we commit hundreds of thousands to EMC before we knew whether we had a big business? Amazon will surely keep moving up the stack.

Amazon EC2 would be considered fully managed cloud, which also happens to be off premise. That is on premise, off premise, fully managed, and do-it-yourself. We think those four dimensions matter because you can sort of mix and match those, and end up with interesting business models. There is an advantage and disadvantage to that.
