Some are, some aren't. For example, my experience has been that it's harder to get the 100 S3 bucket-per-account limit raised.

  That used to be a hard technological limitation but they fixed it a few months back. You should be able to get more now (but you have to have a good justification for it).

    100 seems an odd number to be a technological limitation, doesn't it? It's not a power of two or anything so it's not the size of an integer. How could technology have been limiting it?

      S3 bucket names are globally scoped - ie. they are literally scarce resources.

      Technology in the sense that it was a hard coded variable, but it was picked arbitrarily.

    What would be a good justification? Is there anything you can do with 101 buckets that you can't do with folders one bucket?

      Requester-pays billing (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/BucketBilling.html http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/BucketBilling...) for more than a hundred clients, static sites served through CloudFront, etc.

  IIRC that was one of the few the AWS docs specifically called out as unraisable.
