class="wikitable sortable"
2000		Prelude	Amazon.com, the parent company of the as yet nonexistent AWS, begins work on merchant.com, an e-commerce platform intended for use by other large retailers such as Target Corporation. In the process, Amazon's team realizes that they need to decouple their code better, with cleaner interfaces and access APIs. Around the same time, the company also realizes the need to build infrastructure-as-a-service internally, to improve the speed of development and not have it bottlenecked by infrastructure availability. All these changes help pave the way for AWS.{{cite news\|url = https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/02/andy-jassys-brief-history-of-the-genesis-of-aws/\|title = How AWS came to be\|date = July 2, 2016\|access-date = December 4, 2016\|work = TechCrunch\|last = Miller\|first = Ron\|archive-date = January 21, 2021\|archive-url = https://archive.today/20210121185947/https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/02/andy-jassys-brief-history-of-the-genesis-of-aws/\|url-status = live}}{{cite web\|url = https://medium.com/@furrier/original-content-the-story-of-aws-and-andy-jassys-trillion-dollar-baby-4e8a35fd7ed#.g4p7t635j\|title = Exclusive: The Story of AWS and Andy Jassy's Trillion Dollar Baby.

2003		Prelude	Benjamin Black and Chris Pinkham write a short paper describing a vision for Amazon infrastructure that, in Black's words, "was completely standardized, completely automated, and relied extensively on web services for things like storage."{{cite web\|url = http://blog.b3k.us/2009/01/25/ec2-origins.html\|title = EC2 Origins\|last = Black\|first = Benjamin\|access-date = December 4, 2016\|archive-date = June 3, 2013\|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130603051226/http://blog.b3k.us/2009/01/25/ec2-origins.html\|url-status = live}}{{cite web\|url = https://gigaom.com/2010/06/18/the-origins-of-amazons-cloud-computing/\|title = The Origins of Amazon's Cloud Computing\|last = Higginbotham\|first = Stacey\|date = June 18, 2010\|access-date = December 4, 2016\|publisher = GigaOm\|archive-date = October 15, 2021\|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20211015234249/https://gigaom.com/2010/06/18/the-origins-of-amazons-cloud-computing/\|url-status = dead}}{{cite web\|url = https://www.networkworld.com/article/936248/the-myth-about-how-amazon-s-web-service-started-just-won-t-die.html\|title = The myth about how Amazon's Web service started just won't die.

2004		Prelude	Jeff Bezos approves the idea of experimenting with Amazon infrastructure. Pinkham leaves for South Africa to set up a satellite development office. While there, he works on a pilot along with help from Chris Brown and Willem van Biljon. Although the team works from South Africa, the servers are hosted in the United States.{{cite web\|url = http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/cloud-computing/amazons-early-efforts-at-cloud-computing-partly-accidental/\|title = Amazon's early efforts at cloud computing?

2005		Prelude	A private precursor to AWS launches, with a small number of customers. At the same time, Amazon begins planning for a public launch of AWS. Based on internal discussions, they decide to launch storage, compute, and database offerings so that developers can use all of them together.
