Is it really unreasonable that I wish aws would just name their fucking products after what they are? Why the fuck is dns called route 53? Why the fuck is a vm an elastic cloud compute node? Stop being pretentious dicks and just name things what they are!

Am I being unreasonable?

    dns uses port 53, so kinda makes sense, but yeah that's a little overly clever to call it "Route 53", like a reference to a highway or something, i guess (?). Elastic cloud is a 3rd party product which you can buy via Amazon, Microsoft, or Google. https://www.elastic.co/cloud/

    Well, an Apple a day keeps the doctor away. But you have to use their phones or bigger. The watch just hasn't enough doctor-stopping power...

    @steev I think elastic cloud compute refers to an EC2 instance which is a virtual node.
    The elastic cloud referred by you is more like Elastic Search cluster cloud which is provided as a separate service by AWS.

    Yes, it's unreasonable. Those marketing turds need a job too, you know.

    I'm just annoyed that AWS Quantum isn't quantum computing.

    I'd like to remind all of you of the naming disaster that is 4D NAND technology. So like. EC2 is a pretty bad name, but at least it's clearly a metaphor and not sci-fi themed bullshit that imitates real science by nature.

    The different naming based on team structure decision. They decide name, Features, and cost.

    Otherwise the whole platform would be lot more streamlined.
