      Battle over #Elasticsearch another chapter in the #AWS & #OSS war. There is a lot of money involved, but in my view there are also ethics in questionhttps://www.theinformation.com/articles/open-source-battle-over-aws-intensifies …

      There is no war between AWS and OSS. AWS philosophy remains very aligned with Open Source, as it has been from Day 1 in 2006 when EC2 launched with support for running a full Linux OS in the cloud, along with the extensive OSS ecosystem that ran on Linux.

      So why so few contributions?

      For open source that I'm most familiar with (compute services, containers, crypto, security, etc.), the focus has been investing in core software like mitigating Spectre v2 in the Linux kernel (using the Google retpoline technique, but getting it upstream so that all can benefit)

      Is there a particular project you are interested in seeing more investment?

      In general. @AWS has made much money by turning #OSS into managed services but giving little back. Still, I have also heard that AWS has lately been bringing in good OSS people and taking its responsibilities - as #cloud industry leader- seriously. Opinion? @krishnan

      Amazon has had good OSS people for a long time, mainly focused on ensuring that OSS is used and contributed to in responsible ways across the company. I have been at Amazon 9.5 years and have provided guidance and advice on OSS matters, since I had prior experience (Red Hat, SFC)

      But what many are looking for, I think, is more headliner projects, hiring existing project maintainers, and bringing much more external communication into the picture. And those have been areas of focus in more recent years.

      Do you contribute or not? 6 years ago, when I fist started following AWS, I was told "we do not contribute to OSS". Full stop

      Who said it? In 2013 AWS joined the Linux Foundation and was a founding advisory board member of the new Xen Project when it started at Linux Foundation. In 2012 you can see Amazon showing up in Xen commits (this was me, so you have a first hand account)https://xenproject.org/2012/09/17/xen-4-2-0-released/ …

          Glad to hear it But as I have watched this company, its culture really has been evolving - in a positive way including OSS - much less closed (even parano). much more open, mature and responsible

          I'm happy to hear that the long term efforts of many of us around openness are showing results.😀Having @adrianco's team to amplify the efforts has been a big help. Being responsible in how F/OSS is used has been a significant focus inward, and I believe that Amazon has been.
