Entirely different claim.
- akshayshah 1y agoI claimed that Google is the only major cloud provider with all three of: - single-zone object storage buckets - regional object storage buckets - transparently replicated, dual region object storage buckets I agree that AWS has two of the three. AFAIK AWS does not have multi-region buckets - the closest they have is canned replication between single-region buckets.
- whatreason 1y agonot quite the same, but S3 does have https://aws.amazon.com/s3/features/multi-region-access-points/ https://aws.amazon.com/s3/features/multi-region-access-point..., which would let you treat multiple buckets in different regions as one single bucket (mostly). But you still do need to set up canned replication.
- thayne 1y agoS3 doesn't have "transparently-replicated dual-region object storage", which was part of the claim. S3 does have replication, but it is far from transparent and frought with gotchas. And it certainly doesn't have all of that with a single API.
