Why Amazon Cares about Open Source

on YouTube ↗06m

" summary

AWS frames open source work around customer demand, saying 90–95% of the roadmap comes from customers and they push fixes upstream rather than maintain forks. Specific projects include contributions to Linux and Kubernetes, building managed control planes with Amazon EKS, producing a no‑cost OpenJDK distribution as Amazon Corretto, and releasing libraries like s2n to get more eyeballs and quality. Memberships in CNCF and the Linux Foundation, three years as OSCON top‑tier sponsor, and 20% customer blog contributions back the effort.
