Feature Request to AWS for EC2 & S3
I am a big fan of AWS and it is because of the way they think and plan for every upcoming feature. I have been using different services on AWS for quite some time and I must say improvisation is a regular thing.
There are few things which I am requesting AWS (and I wanted to know your opinion on those things as well):
- On an EC2, there is a Public IP available. Now for some reason, I decide to proceed with that IP and I am okay to pay the charge for Elastic IP as well. There should be an option which allows me to change the current Public IP to Elastic IP category and hence not loose the same. Currently, I will have to reserve a new Elastic IP and hence I would loose the existing Public IP.
- I have launched an EC2 in a subnet. Based on the subnet's setting, this EC2 receives a Public IP (or not). We can also override this behavior and choose to allot a Public IP to EC2 (or not). Now if my instance is in stopped state, there is no attribute of EC2 which tells me if it would receive Public IP on starting or not. I think there should be an attribute which tells whether this EC2 gets Public IP or not (irrespective of the fact whether it came from Subnet attribute or it was overridden). Also, this attribute might help in cases where Subnet attribute's value gets changed over a period of time.
- In case of S3 buckets, I would like to have a feature to LOCK a bucket which means I should be able to stop any WRITE/EDIT/DELETE operation on the bucket. READ could be optionally allowed at the LOCK time. This feature at bucket level could be very useful in scenarios of maintenance.
I would be happy to know your views on this. Please let me know if I am missing something.

9 年Why is IP address a concern for you ? What happens if you lose an IP address and get another one? In real time production environment, no one uses IP address for the public things. You would not type 216.58.196.100 for google.com, would you?

9 年this application logic applies for S3 bucket FR.

9 年This seems like a valid feature request. But I still feel that you can have this behavior controlled from the Application itself based on the Application's state machine. It would definitely be more logic from applications point of view but you can get the kind of behavior you want to have.
