So is this all an effort to combat amazon's dominance of the market? Because I see every competitor to them on this standard except for them.

I don't think we're thinking about AWS at all, at least I'm not, nor have I ever heard them brought up in that context. We see a problem, we have a problem, we're working together for a combined solution that fits our use cases.

We have included AWS examples and considerations for their requirements, if they choose to be involved or not is on them.

Agreed, I think this is more an effort to have a free flow of event and information. It's not that one organization has a monopoly on it, it's that all users suffer small painful taxes at every boundary. Collectively they become rather large and this is a way to address that.

I'd personally use this to build some tools for a lot of AWS exclusive use-cases, in addition to multi-cloud stuff.
