Google is challenging Amazon in the cloud by partnering with open-source companies instead of competing with them

Google's cloud division is cozying up to open-source software companies as it draws a distinction with Amazon, which has started competing with some of those vendors.
"Recently the open-source community has found that cloud providers are not partnering with them, but attempting to take away their ability to monetize open source," Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said at a developer conference on Tuesday. "We as Google do not believe that that is good for customers, for the developer community or for software innovation."
