Not the beer... Making clouds (I may work for AWS, but everything here is my own and does not represent the views, opinions, etc. of AWS).
On #PiDay (Amazon S3's 19th birthday), @andywarfield takes us through S3's evolution from simple object store to sophisticated data platform. A fascinating look at how customer feedback shapes our services and how we maintain simplicity at massive scale. allthingsdistributed.com/2025/03/in-s3-…
JAN 19 UPDATE: Crews were out on EB I-90 this morning making adjustments to improve traffic flow near E Mercer Way where we have the right lane closed for a failed expansion joint. We have seen less congestion and better flow in this area and we’ll continue to monitor.
This month, Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) is celebrating 15 years of pushing boundaries to deliver reliable, high-performance block storage for our customers. I had a chance to celebrate with some Amazon EBS team members, including one engineer who worked on the original code with several others when EBS launched in 2008. Shout out to @MarcJBrooker! Marc spent his first two weeks on the job reviewing code for the new service. The team and I took a trip back in time to mark the 15-year milestone, remembering animated discussions with our colleague Matt Garman, who was the first product manager at @awscloud and defined the original customer experience for EBS. We recalled how, at one point, we debated if buying two racks of servers for EBS was too much. Little did we know at the time just how big this was going to be. Fast forward to today. EBS handles more than 100 trillion input/output operations every day! Over the years, customers have pushed us in many new directions that we couldn't have imagined. What hasn't changed is how carefully we listen to deliver what they need. There are so many great stories about building EBS and the origins of the cloud. You can hear the history directly from Matt at AWS Storage Day.➡️ pages.awscloud.com/NAMER-field-OE…
