The commercial entities associated with the most popular open source technologies are taking measures to protect themselves from Amazon simply taking their software and turning it into a service, whether it's introducing proprietary components or new licensing. Wouldn't be surprised if we saw AWS do something similar for Redis, MongoDB, Kafka, etc.

While it's possible they've added it via an stunnel type software stop it, I'd bet for efficiency and simplicity it's baked into their internal fork: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/amazon-elasticache-now-supports-encryption-for-elasticache-for-redis/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/amazon-elasticache-now...

They already did their MongoDB-compatible NoSQL document database. Not sure what's under the hood but I assume an altered MongoDB engine adapted to their scalable cloud storage architecture. https://aws.amazon.com/documentdb/ https://aws.amazon.com/documentdb/

  It’s believed to be the same storage engine as their relational data offerings, aurora.

    Its an emulation of MongoDB and not a very good one at that.
