So doesn’t Microsoft Azure offer the same things? Or Google Cloud?

[Renfrew]

They do, and Google for instance has a huge number of servers supporting YouTube, but in this area AWS delivers cheaper and better than its competitors.

Google has 7 US data centers. AWS has 27. That means your video is closer to the consumer and can be delivered faster and cheaper. Everyone goes to AWS, letting them build even more data centers.

Yup
And YouTube where most people watch videos and video clips and even older movies, runs on Google cloud, not on Amazon.

[Mariner]

Yes.

MS and Google offer cloud services to compete with Amazon.

The move is technically difficult, but it can be done.
