This seems good.
- “com.aws.s3” - S3 is a storage API
I'm wondering whether this would be better as an InterfaceName_t. S3 is a network protocol that different implementations support. In principal, an implementation could support multiple object store protocols (e.g., CDMI, S3, Swift, ..). For example, there are S3 gateways that use a Swift object-store; such a service could expose a Swift and S3 endpoints. To my mind, a Service with service_t of com.aws.s3 would indicate Amazon's S3 service, or someone deploying the software Amazon is using.
- “com.ceph.object-storage” - Object store, see http://ceph.com
In contrast to S3, the Ceph protocol is tightly under Ceph's (now RedHat's) control, with applications achieving compatibility through the use of libradios. Therefore, this as a service_t makes perfect sense. HTH, Paul.
