Sure you can destructively destroy the drives. But you could also just use KMS on the S3 bucket object and then toss the key and close the buckets. Gonezo.

- danielheath 6y agoThat doesn't help if you want the data to be gone instead of hidden.
- Dylan16807 6y agoIf it's encrypted then destroying the key gives you a blank-with-noise drive. There's no equivalent for S3.
- jiggawatts 6y agoIt's strange that people just shrug their shoulders and accept this state of things in 2020. Any system these days should allow near-instantaneous admin operations for just about any reasonable request. Subtree move, delete, or rename should all be instant. Similarly, any simple ACL changes should be instant. Similarly, data movement should scale linearly with the volume of data, not the number of objects.
