Huh. Google mentioned that it's making its own NICs at Next, on March 9th, and I've seen no mention of this in news/editorials/comentary.pic.twitter.com/IKrgRZQMRx

It was known that they run custom switches (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wired.com/2015/06/google-reveals-secret-gear-connects-online-empire/amp/ …), and AWS is known to run custom NICs, so it's not terribly surprising.
It strikes me as approximately as surprising as custom deep learning hardware, and a ton of ink has been spilled on that.

When I first heard somebody doing it? Sure. Reading http://www.geekwire.com/2017/amazon-web-services-secret-weapon-custom-made-hardware-network/ … and then hearing Google announce they use custom NICs too? Eh.
