AWS announced that Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) will be available on VMware. What will be the industry impact? https://www.crowdcha...

Will many really be happy?
Erik Kaulberg
AWS steadily displaces more datacenter infrastructure. Oracle should be scared
Yadin Porter de León
Is AWS creating "data center friendly" cloud connecting services or just slowly building an SDDC?
Mark May
To me it makes a few things clear. 1) Amazon isn't sure everything will go to the public cloud as quickly as they predicted - so they need to take the cloud to the DC
Sarbjeet Johal
it’s a blessing for @Oracle as they get to sit in local DC longer. They have more boots on the ground to sell. Seems like market segments are being carved out naturally....
Yadin Porter de León
@cincystorage Or are they building an AWS DC?

The first impact of the Amazon RDS on VMWare Cloud announcement may be
probably taking place in sales enablement at VMware: hiring seasoned RDBMS salespeople to pitch it vis-a-vis Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM's RDBMS for hybrid cloud customers.

Another option customers can choose from. For the industry a seamless solution to deploy the database in public cloud (AWS) or on-prem (VMware stack)
Dave Vellante
@cincystorage right on!
Peter Burris
@cincystorage Also, AWS probably realizing that VMware has more market power than expected. Customers with deep roots still matter.
jameskobielus
@porterdeleon I think it's the former.
Tom Poole
@porterdeleon AWS is a SDDC; now they are becoming more open. What RDS + vSphere actually looks like is TBD.
Mark May
@porterdeleon No, they are building a private public cloud on your premises
David Floyer
This is a great announcement - allows some RDS workloads to run on VMware, on-premises or in the cloud. Gives a solution for latency dependent workloads by enabling movement of processing to the data. I expect AWS will offer same capability on AWS stack in the future>

Who sells it? Who supports it?
John Furrier
I've said it b4 and say it again..RDS will have long lasting impact and is a big chess move for both AWS and VMware..you're move Azure and Google Cloud
Mark May
2) Amazon sees that customers feel like they can't get out from under Oracle's thumb.. and they might be able to help with that...
Yadin Porter de León
@cincystorage I love the term "Private Public Cloud" - Can you get a copyright on "PPC"
Kurt Milne
Will IT install AWS Software on prem- and then call AWS for support? ??

@cincystorage @porterdeleon just throwing this out there. Azure can run Oracle.

@kurtmilne Excellent question: Enterprise engagement still matters. Long term, hard to see one company taking all the revenue and another taking all the costs. Hard to sustain. Even for Wintel.
