I think the industry's criticism of AWS is understandable, msw. I believe it is time for AWS to come up with a more sustainable method to support the open-source community. By sustainable, I mean financial support and dedicated resources for contributing back to open source. Given your position, I hope you can initiate this type of change. Allocating 0.5 or 1% of AWS's revenue or even profit from each service that utilizes open-source software is unlikely to significantly affect the financial statements, yet it would represent a significant contribution to the open-source community.
- _msw_ 3y agoWe’ve done that. See one example in a sibling reply.
- Dylan16807 3y agoHaving an example of doing that is great, but the comment said "each". For example, it matters if Redis got such an offer.
- xuancanh 3y agoWhat I meant is a systematic approach to review and reconsider the support mechanisms for all of AWS's current open-source offerings, including those that AWS uses behind the scenes but does not disclose to the public, not just a few services or examples.
