    Amazon (AMZN) plans to lease two additional Northern Virginia data centers in an effort to improve the scale and reliability of Amazon Web Services' pivotal US-East ops. US-East, estimated in March to host 70% of AWS' IP addresses, was hit by multiple high-profile outages (I, II, III) in 2012, something that led many clients to question their dependence on AWS. A 200K sq. foot data center could go live in Q4, and construction is expected to begin on a 115K sq. foot facility in mid-2014.

    Will Amazon charge customers more for this increased reliability? Or will they continue to cut prices to compete ? I'm sure this will help their margins ...

    profits are irrelevant for large companies as long as the PPS rises and the CEO / CFO sell their shares like there is no tomorrow

    There are plenty of opportunies to increase the size of AWS. If investors want a quick return on their investments look for the businesses that won't be around for very long. So much for getting back to making the United States a place where jobs are plentiful and we care about making this country great.
