Do they run any of their own datacenter stuff ? I thought they just outsourced to GCP

All of the Private Cloud Compute stuff they are working on runs on their own Apple Silicon server hardware.

They outsource to GCP and AWS. An Apple executive has been on stage at ReInvent for the past couple of years

		AWS is just used for storage, because it's cheaper than Apple maintaining it, itself. Apple do have storage-datacenter at their campus at least (I've walked around one, it's many many racks of SSD's) but almost all the public stuff is on AWS (wrapped up in encryption) AFAIK. Apple datacenters are mainly compute, other than the storage you need to run the compute efficiently.
