  Curious. Why would someone want 1M buckets? What would be the usecase.

  And how would 1 manage that large amount of buckets. Create new dashboards?

    A separate bucket per (enterprise) customer is useful for SaaS; it can help prove tenant isolation, and it can help with sharing data with the customer.

  Does anybody know what the analogous story is for Google Cloud Storage? It seems to me to be unlimited with no per bucket cost, but I never found a definitive statement about this. It’s important for SAAS products with one bucket per customer…

  Costs $.02 per bucket over 2,000 buckets - https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/

  I wonder if there’s any concern about bucket name squatting following this announcement.

    I always found it interesting that bucket names are a global resource and not per account (so there would be an account ID prefix in the URL)
