I find that AWS chose the same name as GCP for this tool hilarious. Nonetheless, excited to see it -- it's something that I've complained about with AWS since using Google's CloudShell. It also continues us down the path to easy Ops-type work on an iPad (even though you can already have an EC2 instance and use Prompt to access it, being able to have a shell without needing to provision and EC2 instance is chefs kiss).

I don't think there's a better name... Azure's is Cloud Shell (with a space)

  We could always call it AWS SeaShell (C. Shell).

    Which we could then shorten to AWS3!

    I'd be disappointed if I launched an instance and discovered that /bin/csh [0] (or at least tcsh) wasn't the default! -- [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_shell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_shell

I’m impressed it actually has a name that describes what it does, instead of something like Walrus or Chalkboard.

They're actually a bit different. AWS's Cloud9[1] is like GCPs' CloudShell[2]. AWS's CloudShell[3] is /just/ a shell.
