Amazon Web Services in Plain English
Sure, a lot of AWS services could have been named better. But a lot of these are terrible, downright misleading names.Some examples:S3 as "Amazon Unlimited FTP Server": S3 has nothing to do with the FTP protocol.VPC as "Amazon Virtual Collocated Rack": VPCs don't have anything to do with either collocation (they can span AZs), much less physical racks.Lambda as "AWS App Scripts": really disagree with this one. Their intent is to be microservices or event handling functions, not scripts. "Scripts" isn't really descriptive but usually implies a manually invoked automation that modifies some kind of stateful resource (such as files). Lambda is basically the exact opposite.There are lots more that are problematic or overly simplified as well.I don't say this to crap on the effort, just... be careful if you're relying on this for your understanding of what AWS does.
