Unbundling AWS
One major thing this doesn't consider is the technical limitations  which are latency & bandwidth.<p>(1) You save a ton of money on bandwidth when you move data from AWS to AWS<p>(2) Your stack, in most cases, needs to be near each other to minimize latency. Databases get wrecked by this.<p>This is why, cloud database providers have to often transparently show you which cloud you're launching on [1] which effectively means AWS is going to get a good share of it anyway. My uninformed guess is that EC2&S3 are by far their biggest money maker which is going to be what unbundlers target.<p>I'm all for the unbundling and will probably take part in some of it, but I don't think it will be that easy.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.cockroachlabs.com/product/cockroachcloud" rel="nofollow">https://www.cockroachlabs.com/product/cockroachcloud</a>
