Electric companies can switch off your electricity, and not much else. Amazon can read your secrets.

- speedgoose 6y agoI know that in practice nobody at AWS reads customer secrets and if someone does, it will be logged somewhere but I always find it funny that you can encrypt things in AWS with secrets fully managed by AWS. It's just a checkbox to check the box for encryption in technical requirements but it doesn't really matter if you really care about privacy when the keys are stored in a very safe box accessible by AWS and the USA state (patriot act).
- oarsinsync 6y ago> I know that in practice nobody at AWS reads customer secrets and if someone does, it will be logged somewhere Can you share how you know this to be true? I certainly hope it's true, but I have no way of knowing myself.
- speedgoose 6y agoI actually don't know, you are right. I have some trust in AWS but I would never put a real secret in AWS in clear text.
