> iCloud is s3
Are you sure? I remember a few years ago, when I was working for NetApp, they were selling their E-series boxes to Apple in a special deal to be used for iCloud. Although things might have changed by now, at Apple’s scale, I would have imagined they build and operate their own block storage..
- fnordpiglet 3y agoYes I’m sure. They actually have redundancy with Google and they do have their own infra too, but iCloud is more or less s3. It’s by far the largest s3 user. Within aws people whisper about iCloud as being “fruitcart” and other fairly transparent code names. It’s supposed to be a secret but at some level everyone knows.
