Shock! Wikipedia is wrong! The first AWS service was AWIS, still going strong today, although only usable by root accounts, not IAM.
This misinformation is perpetuated by AWS evangelists who claim SQS was the first service.

- mmt 8y agoAlthough what you point out may be technically (and marketingly) correct, it's not a stretch to consider the current, cloud-computing AWS to have started until the availability of S3 and/or EC2. More importantly, for these services to run roughshod, two years later, over the technical assumptions of something like AWIS also seems reasonable to expect. If AWIS isn't integrated under IAMs, that's pretty telling.
