AWS switch from gzip to zstd – about 30% reduction in compressed S3 storage
Everyone's interpreting this as AWS is zipping every customer's S3 data and improved storage of their data with ztsd.
That's now what Adrian said, and this is not an announcement - this was a "by-the-way" from a retired Amazonian.<p>AWS switched our own service's log storage (in S3) from gzip to ztsd a bunch of years ago -and reduced storage costs by 30%.<p>This is AWS's service data (which is still exabytes) and AWS realized the efficiency.<p>So all the comments of "where is my 30% discount" are offbase.<p>Source: I've worked on AWS for a bunch of years.
