The joys of partnering with the gorilla. Amazon are trying to own the concept of cloud, at least in the IaaS space.
With the consolidation to the big cloud vendors, the pain the cloud giants put on their minnow partners are only going to get worse. And I am not sure what can be done about it.
- hirundo 7y ago> And I am not sure what can be done about it. In this case the answer is clear: when you build a cloud app, take the effort to make it multi-cloud, so you can bail out when any one cloud gets too domineering, or just too expensive. This is the primary reason that I'm reluctant to build on Datomic Ions. They have made an explicit decision to build it for AWS only.
- paulddraper 7y agoThe easiest way to do that is K8. Though that is only a good solution for a large enough org.
- jlawer 7y agoSure, But this is about "Partners". Some such as consultants and MSPs. These organisations are typically providing the strategy to less technically savvy companies. Some others are the technology vendors who are producing the tools to provide higher level cloud management tools. This will limit the ability of these companies to both be a partner and to have promote multi-cloud tools in their portfolio.
- casion 7y agoAre you using Datomic On-Prem currently?
- dustingetz 7y agoIt should be noted why: Rich explained in the NYC Ions talk that they believe in using native platform capabilities directly. Multi-cloud abstraction layers is a lowest common denominator experience. Refer also to Simple Made Easy comments about ORM.
