Why Instructure’s News Matters: Big Tech

Phil Hill has a two-parter (part one, part two) on recent news from Instructure that they are going "to explore strategic alternatives in order to maximize shareholder value". What this means is that they might be open to being sold, and if so, then people might become concerned about Instructure becoming just another company that values corporate profits over... well, everything. Hill notes that Instructure's use of Amazon Web Services (AWS) gave it a big advantage in the market, because people could rely on AWS, but that this advantage has evaporated as all of the vendors have moved to the service. "AWS is king in EdTech." There's a part three to this series coming, so watch for it.
