Hopefully this will let each of them compete on their own merits.
I’ve been tossing up moving our workloads to Elastic Cloud anyway, because AWS ES Service is a source of constant headaches for us. Feels like at least once a week a server ends up in a state where we can’t fix it, and AWS engineers have to manually fix their internal state.
Their standard response is “add more nodes”; well, we did that, and it is costing us an arm and a leg, and it didn’t fix the problems. (Plus, now we have new problems where networking blips appear to be causing quorum problems and sending the cluster into a death spiral.)
Purely off the customer experience, it feels like Elastic Cloud has to be better; the whole licensing debacle has definitely turned me off Elastic though.
