AWS Vice President of Marketing Ariel Kelman wouldn't rule it out - "never say never" he said - but he added that company executives have discussed doing it, but it just doesn't fit AWS's business model at this time. + MORE FROM NETWORK WORLD: Gartner cloud showdown: Amazon Web Services vs. Microsoft Azure + AWS is a services business that operates at massive scale.
