Hey Samat, I am pretty sure that AWS knows exactly what they're doing. They don't want to lose money by hosting objectionable content, and then lose customers to Aliyun or Russian cloud providers.
- adamfisk 7y agoDoes Aliyun support path-based file storage? That could be handy!
- hkai 7y agoNot sure but what I heard their API is the exact copy or the S3 API, so you can switch from one to other without any effort.
- PhilippGille 7y agoI tested that when writing the S3 implementation of a Go key-value wrapper [1] and back then "Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS)" did not support path-style addressing. If you're looking for a similarly robust and scalable alternative, Google Cloud Storage is accessible via S3 API when enabling that in the bucket's configuration and it supports path-style access (at least back when I tested the different S3-compatible services).

- lightgreen 7y agoThey did it not to make blocking in Russia and China easier, but to make their deployment cheaper and faster. Basically with v2 protocol your TCP packets go straight to the server where data is stored without going through one giant proxy. In another words, they do IP routing now instead of HTTP proxying.
