      wave :-) We know this is how you show you care. I don't think there was any reason to downvote or flag. But not everyone on the Orange Site knows one another, so I can see how it could be misinterpreted.

Speaking of branding, I've some questions: 1. When are services branded as AWS (AWS Fargate) vs Amazon (Amazon DynamoDB)? 2. Is BottleRocket a nod to SkyRocket [0] or a movie of the same name? 3. Why is it called Fargate [1]?

  To answer your first question, AFAIK, standalone services that can be used on their own are prefixed with Amazon (eg S3, EC2, DDB), whereas services that are deeply integrated into AWS ecosystem are prefixed with AWS. Disclaimer: I work for AWS, but this is not an official answer. What I said is correct to my best knowledge, but I cannot guarantee its correctness/accuracy.

    This is the correct answer, it was mentioned in an AWS Cert training.

  Firecracker, Bottlerocket :). On Fargate, you got the answer there.

  Also speaking of AWS Branding, do you find there’s a certain temperature you want to get the iron heated up to before you brand the various cattle-not-pets?

  Not just any movie, an absolutely terrific movie. Wes Anderson's first and best.

Could you come up with a better name than bottle rocket?

  Disclosure: I work for AWS, and I approve of the name "Bottlerocket". :-) It's getting largely a positive response out there: https://twitter.com/alexwilliams/status/1237773085039722496 https://twitter.com/alexwilliams/status/1237773085039722496

"Bottlerocket from AWS" sounds like a commercial. I've just taken AWS out of the title above.

  That makes sense. Thanks a ton
