Extended read
While Amazon's AWS backlog of $364 billion is impressive, a deeper look reveals significant concentration risk. A large portion of these commitments comes from AI leaders like Anthropic and OpenAI, whose own revenue streams are still scaling. If these startups face funding challenges or slower-than-expected AI monetization, the AWS backlog could be subject to downward revisions, impacting Amazon's long-term cloud growth narrative.
