I think Rankin has a great point. When you use AWS, your OS is no longer really Linux, it’s the suite of AWS services. The assumption that you need to tear up and tear down EC2 means that it makes sense for S3 to become your file-system, Batch to be your CPU, use a managed database etc. etc.
- simonebrunozzi 8y agoSorry to be pedantic, but S3 is designed to be an Object store, not a filesystem - the semantics are very different, and the performance too. Furthermore, S3's replication is "eventually consistent", something that you wouldn't accept in a filesystem-like use. Source: the internets, and I was at AWS for 6 years (2008-2014).
