Amazon's cloud arm is going all-in on capacity expansion—they're planning to double their infrastructure by 2027, which means they've already doubled it since 2022. Word is they added at least 1 gigawatt in Q4 alone.



Here's where it gets interesting: historical data shows each additional gigawatt typically generates around $3 billion in revenue. If you run the math on their forward capacity buildout and factor in pricing dynamics, the growth trajectory looks pretty aggressive.

This kind of scaling isn't just about serving more enterprise clients—it's also fuel for AI workloads and Web3 infrastructure demands. The question is whether pricing power holds up as competition heats up in the cloud space.

Spending money to expand capacity again, AWS really wants to dominate the entire cloud computing market.

Burning money to expand capacity again—AWS really plans to monopolize the entire cloud computing industry.

This is getting too competitive—AWS is about to outcompete all the other cloud service providers.

actually, the $3B per GW assumption is where most people get sloppy. have you factored in the correlation between capacity dilution and margin compression across their pricing tiers? from my backtesting, AWS's blended ARPU typically contracts 12-18 basis points per incremental 0.5GW post-2024. classic case of topline growth masking deteriorating unit economics.

AWS is really going all out this time... In Q4, they made 3 billion from just one G. If they keep expanding like this, by 2027 they might just become the ceiling of cloud computing.

No, AWS is really all in this time—adding 1GW in a year, do you realize what that means... Just looking at the scale of this investment shows how crazy the demand for AI is.
