Amazon S3 – The First Trillion Objects
Jeff Barr writes:
Late last week the number of objects stored in Amazon S3 reached one trillion (1,000,000,000,000 or 1012). That’s 142 objects for every person on Planet Earth or 3.3 objects for every star in our Galaxy. If you could count one object per second it would take you 31,710 years to count them all.
We knew this day was coming! Lately, we’ve seen the object count grow by up to 3.5 billion objects in a single day (that’s over 40,000 new objects per second).
Old news because no doubt the total is greater than one trillion a week later. Or perhaps any time period greater than 1/40,000 of a second?
Is there a new uncertainty principle? Overall counts for S3 are estimates for some time X?
