I think it's a little weird to say "Introducing Object Storage" when you're not introducing anything at all. There's zero information about it!

Is it S3 compatible? Does it compete with S3? Does it supports static file hosting? How do permissions work?

I think it would make more sense to communicate that you're looking for beta testers for an object storage service.

Certainly the GA release will have all of that information, but given that large product releases like this are about a year of work, and part of the release schedule for us is a beta test with existing customers the introduction is basically to invite customers into the beta if they want to participate, and also that is the final step before GA release.

Customers who want to be a part of the beta are using the actual product that we are developing, but we don't commit to specifics publicly incase things change, which is why it's a beta release, not GA.
