I saw 'Amazon' and, despite having been working with AWS all night, thought ecommerce first and couldn't figure out what they could name 'Glacier'. I was kind-of-not-really hoping it was going to be a new shipping option guaranteed to take a long time. That said, the actual service looks solid.

I'm completely amused that there's an internet service named "Glacier" in such a way that it is a positive connotation!
