Google is challenging Amazon in the cloud by partnering with open-source companies instead of competing with them

Google's cloud division is cozying up to open-source software companies as it draws a distinction with Amazon, which has started competing with some of those vendors.

Kurian, who took the helm of Google's cloud division in November, is starting a new initiative to partner with companies like Elastic and MongoDB, which have built businesses by commercializing open-source products. Shares of Elastic and MongoDB both rallied on Tuesday. By partnering with these companies, Google can provide customers commercial support, consolidated billing and a single management tool for all participating open-source services.Another company participating in the initiative is InfluxData, a start-up that commercializes a database called InfluxDB.
