AWS comes from the infrastructure that Amazon uses. Amazon does not run it's operation on the same machines that it sells to other companies as part of AWS. Yes, I have done work in the AWS infrastructural.

I didn't say Amazon ran its own operations on AWS. I said that it made so much money from AWS that the profitability of its other ventures was largely irrelevant. That is a matter of public record
