Regarding Spanner, AWS now provides Global Tables for Dynamo DB and a Multi-Master feature for Aurora. Very interesting move. https://venturebeat.com/2017/11/29/aws-cloud-databases-go-se...

Right, Azure has an interesting offering for a global database with CosmosDB but AWS is leaping ahead of the game with global tables and multi-master/region Aurora, which are far more usable and productive than the others.
And dynamodb style "serverless" functionality / billing for aurora, looks like. I would have loved that about a week ago.
