Скачать или смотреть How AWS S3 Hit 1PB/s Using Hard Drives… This Is WILD!

Amazon S3 still relies on tens of millions of hard drives, and this choice is the key to how it scales to mind-bending speeds. In this video we break down why HDDs remain cheaper, how AWS squeezes massive throughput out of them, and how clever engineering solves their biggest limitations. You’ll learn how S3 handles hot partitions, parallelizes reads, and reaches performance levels that seem impossible for such old hardware.
