This conference talk presents Cloudscape, a comprehensive dataset analyzing nearly 400 cloud architectures deployed on AWS, with a specific focus on storage service usage patterns. Explore findings that reveal S3 as the dominant storage service (68% prevalence) while file system services remain surprisingly rare (4%). Learn about the common heterogeneity in cloud storage layers and how storage services primarily interface with Lambda and EC2 while also supporting specialized ML and analytics services. The research provides concrete insights into real-world cloud storage deployment patterns and establishes a foundation for understanding service popularity in cloud architectures. Part of the USENIX FAST '25 technical sessions program, this 17-minute presentation is delivered by researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and NetApp.
