I'm experiencing a bizarre sense of unreality reading comments on a story about Amazon killing EC2-Classic, where the first line is "Retiring services isn’t something we do", while having just read yet another email from Amazon warning me about all my files stored in the defunct Amazon Drive, and somehow 90% of the discussion is about a completely different company discontinuing products.

We had some classic ec-2. They gave plenty of warning and migration was easy. I think Google is being brought up so much because that isn't the typical Google experience when they kill things off.

I get your point, if AI were training on this content it might conclude that Google killed off its ec-2 product.

AWS is pretty separate from consumer Amazon.

Yup was going to say. AWS treats its customers a bit differently than retail Amazon. The latter cuts services faster than Google.

If I'm not mistaken, Amazon Drive is not part of AWS's services. Certainly Amazon's consumer cloud services have had some big changes over time.
