Amazons consumer business says bye bye to Oracle databases, moves to AWS

▤ Summary

The move may put to bed what has become a fun volley of trash talking between Oracle and AWS, but the fine print of the migration may keep the arguments going. Ellison has a bit of an obsession with AWS and recently dinged the cloud provider at its Open World conference. Consider the following headlines: In its blog post, AWS outlined its move from Oracle, which will inevitably be used as a case study to pitch customers. Instead of focusing on high-value differentiated work, our database administrators (DBAs) spent a lot of time simply keeping the lights on while transaction rates climbed and the overall amount of stored data mounted. More than 100 teams in Amazons consumer business contributed and the AWS move gives it a purpose built approach to databases.
