Interesting as of 2010 he had not even used Solaris for four years.

Actually, it's the other way around. He designed and built it, and Netflix learned scale experience from him.
Probably the most influential and successful IT manager in human history. (I worked in his group at Netflix.)
Wow. That's a big claim. I'd think that Fred Brooks (System 360) or Steve Jobs (the mac) might be in the running as well.
Truly knowledgeable. Humble. Technically deep. I've never worked FOR him but I've heard several times how good of a boss he is.
This is a great win for AWS.
This is all so ridiculous. As if something like this can actually be measured and all of the "contestants" are even known.
I work at Google
I would argue that over time the second market will be much larger and more important than what Google built internally.
Well, the applications inside Google are equally diverse compared to applications running on AWS, or at least on the same level. Google's infrastructure is used for an extremely wide range of use cases, from running a shell command remotely, to support planetary deployment of world's largest customer-facing applications.
It was not designed for simple or uniform use cases. Actually, it is impossible to design something that is simple and uniform, and at the same can support Google's growth on the way.
Your examples, Google (search), youtube, are actually examples that have extremely diverse requirements across their entirely tech stack. In fact, many of its requirements cannot be supported in any existing public Cloud providers.
