S3 is more than storage. It is a standard. I like how you can get S3 compatible (usually with some small caveats) storage from a few places. I am not sure how open the standards is, and if you have to pay Amazon to say you are "S3 compatible" but it is pretty cool.

Examples:

iDrive has E2, Digital Ocean has Object Storage, Cloudflare has R2, Vultr has Object Storage, Backblaze has B2

Google's GCS as well, and I haven't used Microsoft, but it'd be weird if they didn't also have an "S3 compatible" option.

Edit: I looked it up and apparently no, Azure does not have one :-/
