Oracle Just Bought Dyn, the Company That Brought Down the Internet
Found on Wired on Tuesday, 22 November 2016
Oracle is also in the midst of a reinvention: it wants to become a cloud computing company that can compete with the likes of Amazon and Google. In that case, the acquisition of Dyn just might give Oracle a much-needed asset.
Amazon and Google already offer their own DNS services. So in a sense, Dyn just makes Oracle’s cloud offering more complete.
If Dyn would be open source, we could expect LibreDyn soon. After all, everything that Oracle touches end up as a dirtied wreck that nobody wants to use. Just look at what happened to Solaris and Open Office.
