Re: AWS just went multi-cloud
#2Finally. I made a very similar suggestion to the ECS product manager about 5 years ago. We were moving from Mesos to ECS and I was losing the ability to manage Docker containers on our on-premises servers so I suggested allowing us to run the ECS Agent on our on-premises servers. This would allow us to centrally manage those servers and would get AWS into our on-prem infrastructure...

#3EKS Anywhere sounds promising, but I fear the data transfer charges between the two.

#4Isn't this the same thing Google is doing with Anthos and Azure is doing with Arc? As I understand it, those solutions are both wider in scope than this. I'm not entirely up to date on those, but this seems more like AWS half-heartedly following the pack than something new.

It's very much new for AWS. Their messaging has always been incredibly exclusionary of other clouds. to the point where they've even prohibited their partners from using words like "multi-cloud, anycloud", etc.

#6Posts like these always seem buried in deep marketing lingo. Can anyone "in the know" ELI5 how this is different than Google Anthos? [1]
If they are in fact similar, I can't help but be left wondering why ACG didn't devote at least a sentence or two to comparisons that already exist in the industry.

#7I wonder if Amazon’s theory here is that by offering multi-cloud support they can put decision makers at ease when choosing cloud vendors by making them feel like they’re not getting locked into AWS - but Amazon also expects most customers to mostly only use AWS out of convenience

#8All these multi-cloud things by the big clouds are more like ways of putting each big cloud in control of other clouds. They're more a way for them to fight over their center of gravity.
A true multi-cloud solution would be cloud agnostic and independent.

#9How do they charge egress for this?

The post does mention Azure's Arc and Sentinel, but definitely should have called out Anthos specifically.
The interesting part of this to me isn't so much that other solutions already exist -- Azure and GCP, due to their catch-up position, have always been far more conciliatory toward the reality of other cloud workloads than AWS. It's that AWS is signaling, however grudgingly, that they will have to play ball with other clouds in order to stay ahead. That's a big shift.
