What about Amazon Linux?
- imwillofficial 4y agoAmazon Linux is pretty much just CentOS rebranded extra goodies. Not OP, but my take was they meant something even more "cloud native", something build from the ground up with cloud in mind. Like an OS based on lambdas or something weird.
- asim 4y agoYea I don't think Amazon Linux is anything new. We need an actual Cloud OS based on Kubernetes. One that's focused on API first service development. It needs to have a service lifecycle, an SDK, a programming model that takes into account multi service development. Something that bakes in the consumption model for the end user the way an iOS, Android or Windows does. So the user experience is visual while the developer experience is one around APIs. Lambda has potential as a proprietary delivery mechanism but it has no real development model. If they doubled down on say a JavaScript SDK and provided UI elements maybe it would work.
