Walmart to Vendors: Get Off Amazon's Cloud (wsj.com)

Amazon vs. Walmart saga continues. It turns out, Walmart isn't thrilled about its partners using Amazon's cloud, and it's telling them to get off it (alternative source). From a report: Walmart is telling some technology companies that if they want its business, they can't run applications for the retailer on Amazon's leading cloud-computing service, Amazon Web Services, several tech companies say. [...] Walmart, loath to give any business to Amazon, said it keeps most of its data on its own servers and uses services from emerging AWS competitors, such as Microsoft's Azure.

    You are a special snowflake. A true rebel who refuses to follow the crowd. An iconoclast among iconoclasts. Imagine, refusing to buy a new belt to go with those new pants. It's a radical idea and you are in the forefront of trendiness.
    We salute you!
