We are excited to introduce the AWS Elastic Icon Identifier, a service designed to simplify your AWS Management Console navigation by quickly identifying AWS service icons. This service offers Icon Recognition, enabling you to instantly identify an uploaded AWS icon; an Icon Library with a continuously updated collection of AWS service icons; and API Integration, allowing you to programmatically identify AWS icons in…

AWS Elastic Icon Identifier is just a fork of Open Icon Identifier. AWS does this shit all the time. LOL

Open Icon Identifier wants to move to a different license but are afraid of user reaction.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Worth noting that also from experience that applies to the amount of effort they put into services. Most of the non-core ancillary services are buggy garbage. I'm wondering if we're going to cause an integer overflow on the support ticket system the way we're going.

It’s funny you say that. I work at AWS. The URls for tickets just rolled over to have a new digit this week

Well at least I won't have to open a ticket for that :D

Don't worry, the original developer who started the project has a created a fork with the new license.

They removed some of the enterprise functionality and has rewritten that part as a closed source product. The core will remain open source forever.

I tried my level best and got 2/20. I repeated with random guesses and got 5/20. I have used AWS on-and-off since 2018. AWS icons are next to Egyptian hieroglyphs in difficulty. Google iconography isn't so bad (but bad enough still.)

I got 4 out of 20, but 3 were just lucky guesses.

There was only one icon that I could guess from the context. The mobile analytics icon looked like a bar-chart and the other options were things like Kinesis and other services that didn't match the icon.

Of course, you will need to assign the appropriate IAM Role per icon type.

Now I am very curious about how AWS made their icons. I work in AWS everyday and can barely tell any part. I thought Google was terrible...
