This is about Amazon removing a revenue stream from Oracle. Amazon also announced a few days ago that they were removing Oracle products from AWS.

Expect an article by Ben Thompson on stratechery.com in the next week.

Amazon is moving their own systems off Oracle; I don't see anything in those stories about Amazon ending AWS customers' Oracle deployments.

Oh, I misunderstood. Thanks for the correction.

Edit:

They are encouraging their customs to migrate though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18451204 "Best practices for migrating an Oracle database to Amazon PostgreSQL"

To be fair I trust Amazon just about as much as I trust Oracle.

You must not have been a big Oracle customer =)

A long time ago I was looking into the cost of Oracle for a company and trying to compare it to Sql Server.

For SQL Server, you just go to the page and the price is right there.

For Oracle, you have to talk to a salesmen. That turned me off from Oracle.

With AWS, I know exactly how much a resource will cost and there are a myriad of ways you can get detailed billing.
