And now Larry? The boss of AWS insists that Amazon will have emptied the Oracle database by the end of 2019 • The Register

re: Invent AWS boss Andy Jassy has doubled Amazon's claims to Oracle databases by 2019, and used his Re: Invent speech to hide Big Red.

Speaking at the main technical conference of Amazon in Las Vegas this week, Mr. Jassy said the world of "old-fashioned commercial-grade databases" was "miserable" for businesses since 20 years.

By targeting his Oracle competitor in the cloud, Jassy said these traditional database providers are too expensive and do not serve customers well, evoking aggressive audits and proprietary systems that block customers.

He also criticized Big Red's market share, showing a predominantly orange AWS slide, followed by Microsoft with 13.3%, Alibaba with 4.6% and Google with 3.3%.

Oracle has been identified by a pop-up Larry Ellison, appearing as a little cartoon villain, in a segment of "other sellers".

The exchange of shots is commonplace at vendor conferences – Ellison spends huge chunks of his AWS keyword talking about baskets, simply because Amazon still uses Oracle databases.

The efforts of the online marketplace giant to get out of the competitor's technology are well documented – less well proven – but this has not stopped Jassy from developing the claims that the company is moving ahead.

In an interview with CNBC on re: Invent, he said: "We have almost finished leaving Oracle for the databases … I think we'll be done by the end of 2019 or the middle of 2019 ".

He claimed that 88% of the databases running Oracle will be on DynamoDB or Aurora databases from Amazon by January, and that 97% of the strategic databases will be on DynamoDB or Aurora. here the end of next year.

Jassy also reiterated a previous tweet that Amazon had moved its Oracle data warehouse to Redshift on Nov. 1.

Elsewhere during the conference, AWS announced DeepRacer, a tiny, "standalone" radio-controlled car, following Ellison's comments to OpenWorld that Amazon's database was at best semi-portable. autonomous.

"It's like a semi-autonomous car, you get on board, drive it … and you die," Ellison said. Of course, no one can enter this one. ®
