From a purely utilitarian perspective, I can live without Elastic far easier than I could live without AWS. From a legal perspective, AWS are faultless in using OSS for their own purposes. The only losers are Elastic's investors. And there's no way they couldn't have seen this coming with their business model as it is.

I think Amazon infringed on the trademark. I’m not sure how that didn’t lead to an agreement between ES and Amazon. Perhaps Amazon just had the better lawyers.
