What's the point of announcing it publicly?
- Gaelan 9y agoInvestors?
- jandrese 9y agoIf they didn't nobody would know about it. It's not like Amazon has a big list of email addresses of people who have Secret data that they might want to put on the cloud. Even if they did have a list of government people like that, most of the people interested in this service are contractors who don't officially work for the government. The government doesn't work like those spy movies where everybody knows everything the instant it happens. It's more like a big bloated corporation with thousands of subcontractors and generally lousy communication all around.
- empath75 9y agoThere’s hardly anyone in tech with a clearance in dc who didn’t know this was coming. They’re recruiting like crazy for it.
- BLanen 9y agoWhat's the point of keeping it secret?
- walshemj 9y agoOPSEC
- outworlder 9y agoJust because it's called AWS "Secret", it doesn't mean it has to be a secret :)
- DonHopkins 9y agoSecrecy as a Service.
- cwt137 9y agoMore like Compartmentalization, Compliance, and Control as a Service
- martyvis 9y agoWhat's the point of hiding it's existence? (Security by obscurity doesn't work).
- Spooky23 9y agoContractors.
- DonHopkins 9y agoIt's actually a giant honeypot.
