Does AWS have a good reputation in devops? Because large chunks of AWS are built on Java - which also does not offer static linking (bundling a bunch of *.jar files into one exe does not count as static linking). Still does not pass the smell test.
In AWS, only the very core Infra-as-a-Service that they dogfood can be considered "good", Everything else that's more Platform-as-a-Service can be considered a half baked leaky abstraction. Anything they release as "GA" especially around ReInvent should be avoided for a minimum of 6 months-1 year since it's more like a public Beta with some guaranteed bugs.
In AWS, only the very core Infra-as-a-Service that they dogfood can be considered "good" - large chunks of which are, by the way, written in Java. I think you are proving my point...
which just means Java isn't affected? or your definition of not not counting bundled and not shared jars as static linking is wrong, since they achieve the same effect.
