According to the Director General of Andy Jassy, the bulk of the capital costs of Amazon this year will be aimed at developing the AWS division infrastructure.

Some of the capital costs will nevertheless be aimed at developing the trade business in order to increase the speed of delivery and reduce the cost of customer service.
