I haven’t worked at google but I think there is one other difference. At amazon teams “merge from live” and have control of their own service’s CD pipeline. They might manually release the merged changes or have full integ test coverage. The Amazon workflow offers more flexibility to teams (whether or not that might be desirable).

Not sure how deployments and CD work at google but I think the picture is different at google for unit tests, integ tests etc. Amazon teams have more control over their own codebase and development practices whereas, based on what I know, google has standardized many parts of their development process.
