Can you elaborate on this?

Do you mean that amazon is tending towards strong or externalizable consistency now?

I’ve always noticed AWS products tend towards eventual consistency, and Google Cloud offerings are almost all strongly consistent.

For example S3 is eventually consistent for read after write (if it’s not the first write). Google cloud storage is strongly consistent for read after all writes.

I think the goal is for S3 to "eventually" be strongly consistent. I heard one of S3's designers say that they shouldn't have opted for eventual consistency in retrospect.
