You have it backwards. AWS didn't solve anything for Amazon internally (it's actually kinda funny how tricky moving internal systems onto AWS is). FBA and AWS are Amazon taking systems that they already had to build for its own use and selling them as a product/service to external companies. FBA is just a way to use a portion of Amazon's existing distribution system. AWS is a way to use Amazon's existing tech platform(s).
