• ▶ 1:05:12 Ben Gilbert And in fact, I can recall personally using Amazon S three for something I was working on and there was no EC two.
• ▶ 1:05:50 David Rosenthal But yeah, S three is the first service to launch by itself in March, 2006.
• ▶ 1:05:59 Ben Gilbert So S three simple storage service.
• ▶ 1:06:36 David Rosenthal S three launches in March, 2006.
