So now the ETH2 folks will have to coordinate with Amazon in getting that managed service migrated to PoS? How do we know that this wont be like ElasticSearch, in that Amazon runs its own custom ETH1 chain for its customers forever?
Another reason to doubt that ETH2 is actually going to be a thing sometime before the heat death of the universe.
- wmf 6y agoWhy would AWS have more clout than the whole rest of the Ethereum ecosystem?
- rfd4sgmk8u 6y agoThey dont, however, they may end up becoming their own ethereum ecosystem.
- WJW 6y agoAWS probably has more money than the rest of the Ethereum ecosystem? Anyway, even if they turn out not to have more clout it could still end up as an ecosystem split where some will migrate to ETH2 and some will stay on the AWS managed ETH1 version.

- thinkmassive 6y agoIt's conceivable that over half of all Ethereum nodes could be running on AWS in the near future. Looks like 41% right now: https://www.ethernodes.org/networkType/Hosting https://www.ethernodes.org/networkType/Hosting
- wmf 6y agoAnd yet, 85% of geth nodes are running recent versions. The idea that AWS is going to force people into running old software is a conspiracy theory.
