When I export data from S3, what do I get for a given bucket? Just basically a file system? How is the metadata stored? What about object versions?

I'm curious what the end result looks like in doing this.

Wow. Amazon is really embracing the ship fast, break things, roll with the MVP even when it lacks 50% of the features.
Amazon wants to get companies' data into AWS so they're locked in. They don't want that data flowing the other way.
The thing about an MVP is that it is still a VP.
