Does anyone know if iCloud (photos) storage is AWS S3? Curious if using both iCloud & Amazon Photos is a decent redundant backup plan in addition to a local copy. Or if I have iCloud & Prime, why not? (I also use Backblaze.)
- timvisee 4y agoI believe iCloud uses Google's cloud as storage backend.
- vdfs 4y agoWhat if a strong solar EMP wipe all storages on earth? you need redundancy on at least two other planets (I would suggest the moon but it's close to earth)
- wenyuanyu 4y agoI think Apple uses GCP as well. A photo is probably replicated twice across AWS and GCP by Apple, and AWS and GCP will then replicate it at least 5 times on their own side onto different racks or even AZ.
