the status page is super helpful yea, no shit, I just pushed through a long survey that turned out to be underpaid. I was in too deep to quit and now it's probably going to expire, fuck me. won't load shit but that timer's still ticking.
OKAY, so Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a web storage system offered by Amazon and "Amazon S3 is reported to store more than 2 trillion objects as of April 2013" That was in 2013. So lots and lots of data is stored there, used by many websites. Got it.
Here is something funny: " S3 guarantees 99.9% monthly uptime service-level agreement (SLA),[12] that is, not more than 43 minutes of downtime per month"
Netflix, reddit, dropbox, tumblr, pintrest, minecraft and many many others use s3. Wowsers! But not "wiki, wiki, wiki" from which most of this info comes from.
A metric fuckton of major companies use AWS. Last I heard, Netflix, Spotify, Instagram, Reddit, the CIA, etc.
Yeah I can't get anything to submit. Woo Hoo!!! I blame our government. I'm sure they are sick of all the bullshit they keep getting called out on and are working on a way to censor the internet. This is probably some random test gone awry.
I don't suppose anyone has the panda for the ocmp5 qual? Does it usually stay up long? I guess I'll give re-qualifying a shot.
Interesting article. Reading Fortune article "Why Amazon Continues to Dominate in the Cloud Storage Wars" Seems quaint now!
