Is not most cloud tech based on open-source? Without Linux I feel like we would have seen cloud take off 20 years later than it did.

Please show me the open source AWS.

It's an encrustified open source offering where the original vendors aren't compensated. Where there's lock in, proprietary offering creep, and highway robbery billing.

I will not, because that is not what I asked.

		No. It's not. The proprietary pieces are 99% of the offering. It just wouldn't have ever worked without the open source bits.

Most cloud features are open source tools with special sauce sprinkeled in. But at the same time these companies heavily fund said OS project so I suppose it's not just pure community based work.
