Amazon is an incredibly powerful force in both market share and mind share. I had a project a few months ago that I had to identify potential cloud vendors for some Windows based workloads and presented some of the more popular Windows based cloud providers excluding AWS. The customer (who doesn’t know much about cloud) came back and asked me to propose AWS as an option as well.

I know I got hammered in your previous post about if Openstack is too late but Amazon is obviously not sitting around waiting for competition to happen.

As a systems integrator, I’m a fan of competition and this news will be great news long term for competition however, the short term I still say Openstack “feels late.”
