Ask HN: Why are some of the AWS prefixed with Amazon and some with AWS?
Does anyone know the reason for the prefixes in the AWS product names?
Almost 30% of the services are under 'A' when viewed in the AWS console's 'Services' > A-Z tab

The pattern is that utility services are prefixed with AWS, while standalone services are prefixed by "Amazon".
Services prefixed with AWS typically use other services.
Not 100% accurate either, but only Amazon knows.
