So many new named services. AWS will soon get to a point where their product dropdown wont fit on a laptop screen. Maybe it's time to consolidate some of these

So many new named services. AWS will soon get to a point where their product dropdown wont fit on a laptop screen. Maybe it's time to consolidate some of these services into more general products.
- mifreewil 10y agoThey did just re-organize that dropdown in AWS, it's actually much easier to search and find things. You can also pin commonly-used services to the top menu bar too.
- nate_martin 10y agoFor someone familiar with the products, yes. But for someone new to AWS most of these options don't make sense. I'm looking at a menu with hundreds of options like Snowglobe and Beanstalk and I have no idea where to start. Are they trying to brand their trademarks as the defacto name for the service (like Kleenex and ChapStick have done)?
- NikolaeVarius 10y ago99% of their products aren't useful to the individual computer guy, and are geared toward enterprise. Ignore them and use the specific ones you need.
- madeofpalk 10y agoOh, all of AWS is terribly not-intuitive to use. Just creating an EC2 instance is amazingly complicated.
- bloomark 10y agoMade so much easier with lightsail - https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/webapp/home/resources https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/webapp/home/resources
- vacri 10y agoI hate the new dropdown. The old one had brightly-coloured icons that were an easy visual search. The new one is a wall of text you have to parse.
- thruhiker 10y agoCompletely agree on this point! Also wish there was a way to remove Resource Groups from the top bar.
