Amazon.com is not hosted on EC2. It's entirely separate.

This isn't entirely true. Amazon.com uses EC2 in addition to dedicated servers.

If I ran the tech at Amazon, I'd want to reuse as much otherwise internal tooling and software architecture and best practices between EC2 and core Amazon.com as possible. But, have physically separate machines and network zones. Maybe share some of same data center, of course, but that's as far as I'd take it, and even that sounds a little risky.

Unless Amazon has managers named Jen Boden, Jen Boden is a Business and HR director, not IT director.
