It seems they copied AWS S3 too well, including its "feature" of going down every now and then and it's overall lack of reliability. Nice!

The name of the service is DreamObjects. No affiliation to Dreamhost but doing something as basic as storing files as a service hardly deserves to be called a clone.

What do you mean "no affiliation"? It's one of Dream host's services.

Status update says they're running Ceph, an S3 work-alike. I don't want to say "clone" because nobody outside Amazon really knows how S3 works, and Ceph merely has an external HTTP API that supposedly works the same way. Is anybody running Ceph at scale and might be able to comment on what broke down?

We have used S3 for over 3 years with no issues at all. Care to divulge?

I've never seen S3 go down, the availability is 5 9's. EC2 has had outages in the past.
