Well done. It would also be nice not to have to use large install scripting languages (Perl, Python, Ruby), Java or Go, in order to communicate with AWS, e.g., EC2. Let us be thankful for XML and the popular idea of "it's already done for you, just install this bloated library and read these 320 pages of documentation". If API's mean you can't debug something without having to install Java or some huge, complex scripting language, I'm not sure they've simplifed anything. They've just added another layer of abstraction. More work should anything ever go wrong. And eventually, something always does go wrong. Maybe S3 should just be rysnc servers running in Xen. Just cut to the chase.
