Which company owns the Prime Video streaming service and Amazon Web Services?

The story behind the answer

Amazon owns the Prime Video streaming service and Amazon Web Services.

Prime Video is Amazon’s subscription and digital-video service, offering licensed programs, films, and original productions. It developed from Amazon’s earlier video offerings and became part of the broader Prime membership ecosystem, although some content can also be rented or purchased separately.

Amazon Web Services, usually called AWS, is the company’s cloud-computing division. Launched in 2006, AWS provides services such as computing power, storage, databases, and machine-learning tools to organizations around the world. Prime Video and AWS serve very different markets: one is a consumer entertainment service, while the other sells technical infrastructure. Their shared ownership is an example of Amazon’s unusually diverse business structure.
