AWS SimpleDB has been effectively deprecated for 10+ years and is still available.


Show me a customer still running SimpleDB and I'll show you an account manager who is getting defenestrated on a weekly basis.

Then again, that customer is probably a big spender, so the account manager can rest his damaged limbs on piles of money.


Lol. You found the one service that was deprecated. Would it shock you to learn that SDB is still running and working for a handful of customers?


Right -- my point is that, despite SimpleDB being an ancient and objectively awful service that's been deprecated for ages, it still hasn't been discontinued.

Not in the slightest.


DeepLens, Alexa for Business, OpsWorks for Chef, OpsWorks for Puppet, Import/Export jobs, Sumerian, DataPipeline, Elastic Inference, Amazon WorkLink, and Lumberyard.

So far.


Setting aside nitpicking if some of these are services or features, if they belong or not under the AWS umbrella and just accepti g it at face value: how many aws services are out there and what % of them do these represent?
