AWS isn't that far off from following in the same path. Look at what they did with Elastic Search.

  I'm out of the loop, what did they do with ES (except for providing unstable service...)?

    They have a habit of copying open source software and re-branding it as their own. Here is an article. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/15/technology/amazon-aws-cloud-competition.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/15/technology/amazon-aws-clo...

      That’s not the same thing as using their customers’ data to compete against their customers.

        Fair enough, I know the original article was about what you just mentioned. Still doesn't give them a pass to how they carry out their business though.

  That has nothing to do with the subject being discussed. Unless you are saying their offering harvests customer data?

    I have no inside knowledge about this, but I'd assume and expect AWS to only use customer metadata like resource utilization for capacity management and planning. Much more and they run into compliance issues with things like HIPPA, SOC 2, and PCI.
