It's really surprising to hear about elastic in context of monopoly and amazon as an opensource champion. As Peter said in the beginning, open source is frequently used as a way to subside a product in order to get market dominance. I think in this case you can also safely say that amazon can invest a lot of money (but not that much on amazon scale) in order to kill competition like elastic. Elastic can be only a monopoly in sense of their product the same way as ford can be a monopoly on producing ford cars, there are other players around.
Well. World is a complicated place. Amazon surely has monopolistic behavior in many cases but in this case they have been providing great value to Open Source community, whatever their motivation may be. I do not think "Ford" comparison is valid. Changing from Ford to Toyota is non event, however migrating from Elastic stack to something else is major undertaking
Thanks Peter and Yonk
Your Welcome!
Thanks for comment! :)
