XPE Lounge, page-801

A few people seem to be getting confused when they see Amazon Web Service (AWS) or Microsoft Azure mentioned.

These are cloud hosting services. Xped may be running these services in those environments as a customer, just like you or I can. It does not imply a business level relationship with Amazon to progress anything in regards to the use of xerts with Amazon as a business.

The Microsoft action is a little different in that our presence at the showcase has a part of the company doing more investigation and we were stamped a partner. But, the fact work is being done on the Azure cloud itself has no direct implications for anything.

It's like 2 companies renting space in the same building, you can't draw definite conclusions from tenancy at the same address. Presence there does not imply partnership.

I think it's important to separate concerns here because people are drawing some very loon bows and going a little too far when they see a big name company mentioned when all they have said is that stuff is being developed or run in a commercial cloud service run by these companies.
