embrace and extend

Chinese translation: 擁抱再擴展

English term or phrase: embrace and extend
Like Microsoft and Linux, AWS ignored Kubernetes for as long as it could, and like Microsoft, AWS has been forced to ’embrace and extend’ its rival to protect its market share. I’ve been in meetings with AWS folk who express mystification at why we’d want to use EKS when ECS is available.
’embrace and extend’ its rival到底是“包围再扩展对手”？还是“拥抱并扩展对手”？
另外，"扩展对手"这种搭配或说法好别扭。

agree  Patrick Cheng: 看了Wiki的条目，学了不少东西。不过个人觉得，‘拥抱’不如文中已经提到的‘接纳’好。

接纳对手然后再在其地盘内进行扩张


Explanation:
如果你觉得“拥抱和扩展对手”比较生硬，不符合中文的表达方式。可以建议使用引号并在后面进行解释的方式翻译，例如：
“拥抱并扩展”对手（embrace and extend，系指先接纳对手或与对手合作，然后再在对手的地盘上扩展自己的服务）
这样既能保留了专有名词的使用，又能保证reader friendly.
