Former Amazon person here.

This is totally wrong. Amazon retail has been running on AWS for years.

I'm curious, does it run on AWS in the sense that when I launch an instance I might be collocated on the same physical machine as an instance doing work for amazon.com or do they have a separate deployment of the AWS stack in a dedicated part of the datacenter?

Maybe he confused it with Amazon retail rather recently switching from Akamai to CloudFront for static assets.
