Does Amazon Host its Site in Their Own Cloudy Computing Data Center

Today, I read a news that Amazon is down for about 3 hours, which might bring Amazon millions of dollars lost sales. This is interesting. Amazon plans to provide a platform (such as EC2) for web application which is based on its cloudy computing environment, which is supposed to be very stable and fast. Now, the down of Amazon looks like to me is an environement issue, if Amazon cannot make its own site stable, how can it provide a hosting service which can give you a reliable environement.

The only reason to explain this is that its Amazon.com site hasn’t hosted in it’s Cloudy computing data center.
