@charlotte @erk @encthenet EXACTLY!
#Amazon has a vested interest to act a bit more longterm.
Unlike #Microsoft's #EEE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace%2C_extend%2C_and_extinguish#Examples_by_Microsoft ] they want #S3 to become the de-facto standard, as they already dominate #CloudComputing and making shit easier on their platform will only work if it isn't exclusive.
Even if that means Microsoft ( #Azure ), #OVH, #Hetzner and even #Proxmox can do the same...
It also fixes a lot of issues #iSCSI has...
