I recently drove by both the GCP and AWS regions in Oregon. It was so interesting to see one giant facility for GCP, and like 40 separate datacenter buildings for AWS, typically separated by at least half a mile, sometimes tens of miles.

There are 2 buildings there for Google, serving 3 cloud zones. One of those buildings was google's first datacenter, so used some older ideas.

They are actually in the process of building 3 more buildings a ways down the road for more capacity.
