TL;DR on AWS

- $1.57b in revenue in Q12015 on $22.72B total ($5B annualized for AWS)

- $265m in operating income (net loss for Amazon as a whole was $57m)

Looks like revenue was slightly lower but operating income quite a bit higher than most Wall Street estimates.



I just don't understand when people use TL;DR and comment on an article they have not even read.


It's a way to say "to people not interested in reading the entire article, this is the most important information:"


Yep - the article itself isn't terrible exciting outside of the core AWS numbers, but this now serves as the place for the HN community to talk about it - because the numbers are what's interesting.


He was summarizing the "cloud services" relevant points for those for whom the article is "too long, (won't|didn't) read"
