This intel is like gold, where'd you hear it from?
The lack of transparency is my least favorite thing about AWS. I see the value in keeping brand new services or huge feature additions secret until they're released. But for small issues like when they'll update elasticsearch version or when they'll fix an acknowledged bug, I don't get why they can't share that information with customers (e.g. the way many open source projects track next version milestones on github).
Is it any different at the Enterprise support level?

- skywhopper 10y agoIf you pay for top-level support and spend a lot of money on the services you can get some information ahead of time, but it's all strictly under NDA. The more money you spend the more open the teams are willing to be, but they are understandably cagey about committing to timelines until features are imminent.
