Keeps redirecting to S3 APIs for me. Is that intended?
One thing people should know about AWS and AWS APIs in general is that it is a ghetto. The ad-hoc nature of most AWS services and their weird interactions is indicative of generally bad design. Even with the AWS Ruby SDK I can barely get anything done without consulting 5 different references about which parameters are required, which are optional, and what the sequence of various calls is supposed to be to get an intended result.
So even though this is useful a cookbook would have been much more useful.
- Daviey 10y agoWorse, when I worked on OpenStack's EC2 compatibility API.. I found about 3 examples where AWS were not following their own published API parameters... and I had to choose to follow either their published spec, or what they were actually doing.
- percept 10y agoI don't know if it's bad, or just rapidly evolving. Somebody should create a cool map/visualization of the AWS landscape. (Possibly relating it to some other concept: AWS as a small town, Disney World, or Simpsons' Springfield?)
