Interesting comparison to AWS is that AWS build their own products based on top of existing (or their own technology) e.g. RDS on top of MySQL; DynamoDB their own data store whereas Rackspace are acquiring (e.g. Cloudkick for monitoring).

Perhaps this shows the difference of approach between the two companies with Amazon innovating on top of technologies they already use internally for their retail sites.
