Hello Joon

I've checked with a colleague at AWS who is the prinicipal developer for 
Amazon's global network and infrastructure expansion about possible pS 
nodes.

He reports that Amazon's network management systems are generally all 
in-house and custom developed, with a high degree of automation.
