For two decades, S3 has been an object store, but today it's something broader. S3 Files lets you mount any bucket as a filesystem—no copies, no sync scripts, no choosing between file and object. @andywarfield tells the full story, including the "filerectories" that almost made the cut. allthingsdistributed.com/202…

I wrote an article for All Things Distributed about today's S3 Files launch, and some of the engineering story behind it. allthingsdistributed.com/202…

Some thoughts on the S3 Vectors preview launch this week. This one has been really fun to build, and it's exciting to be able to finally share it!

Today is #PiDay. I wrote an article for @Werner's blog about how important the idea of simplicity is in S3 and reflect on some examples of how simplicity has influenced S3's design over almost two decades.

Really fun post from Werner and team about building with rust, media summarization, and the importance (and enjoyment!) of tinkering in systems. Great read. allthingsdistributed.com/202…

Hey @lookbindings, I absolutely loved my pivot 360s. Right until the metal snapped and turned them into a sharp edge attached to my ski as I fell down the run.

I loved talking to Tim Anderson from the Register at re:Invent this year. It was a really fun conversation about a bunch of the S3 announcements.

Customers are very vocally asking us to bring S3 closer to their applications and to developer interactions with their data. Tim's article does a great job of talking about where the team is heading.

I will say that I find the giant picture of me to be a little unnerving, but the article itself is great.

This morning I'm coming to terms that it's been 20 years since we wrote the Xen paper. That sure went by fast!

I got to give a talk at FAST about how hard drives work, how millions of hard drives work, how an organization with millions of hard drives works, and then a little about how i work in an organization with millions of hard drives.

I linked to this paper in @LastWeekinAWS; it's a dense but excellent read.
