Odd to see something about Amazon from Microsoft.
- dlgeek 12y agoLooks like it's a personal directory for Leslie Lamport (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Lamport http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Lamport), who is cited several times in the paper. Think of it as a professor hosting research papers that cite him in his field on his university site, rather than a business site.
- mcguire 12y agoAnd that use his research. Lamport created TLA+.
- ryanburk 12y agoTLA and much of the initial research in distributed systems (paxos!) came from Lamport who has been at microsoft for years now. if you look at the references in the document, many point to his work.
- hyperliner 12y agoActually, there is a lot of respect for AWS at Microsoft. Huge partners and competitors. Think about it as Microsoft giving you access for free to a good doc for the whole world. Also known as "don't look at the gift horse in the tooth."
