nowhere close to 100x. actually it’s worse than the aws names across the board.

the names have a logic to them but I agree it’s intimidating to learn hundreds of things at the same time - so you don’t. you learn the bits and pieces you need.

for example:

EC2 actually comes from Elastic Cloud Compute. You have Compute in the Cloud which also happens to be elastic.

S3 is Simple Storage Service. It’s a Service for Storing things. It’s simple because it’s just a key-blob storage.

Route53 is obvious if you know what runs on port 53.
