We have a number of questions tagged with [tag:amazon-web-services], [tag:amazon-ec2], and/or [tag:amazon-s3]. Is this really the best site for these questions? Okay, granted, AWS makes it really easy to spin up and provision servers using a web interface, but are they really web applications in the same way that Gmail, Twitter, etc. are? I don't think so. Compare to the same categories on Server Fault: - https://serverfault.com/questions/tagged/amazon-web-services - https://serverfault.com/questions/tagged/amazon-ec2 - https://serverfault.com/questions/tagged/amazon-s3 They have _thousands_ of questions, a large portion of them with answers, compared to the only handful of questions here, most of which, if not closed, still aren't answered. Even Webmasters seems like it'd be a better place: - https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/amazon-web-services - https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/amazon-ec2 - https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/amazon-s3 There they've got dozens of questions, with a lot more votes and a lot more answers. Look at some of the ones we have: - https://webapps.stackexchange.com/q/98891 Asking about if its possible to host a Windows 32 application on AWS. Hosting isn't on-topic here; there's nothing special about AWS in that regard. - https://webapps.stackexchange.com/q/98866 Asking about setting up a CGI-BIN on a virtual private server. That's server configuration; just because you do it through a web application doesn't make it a question about a web app. - https://webapps.stackexchange.com/q/95027 Asking about configuration of email delivery rules. Again, not a question on how to use a web application. - https://webapps.stackexchange.com/q/87739 Asking how to attach a volume to an instance. Again, I don't see how this is about using a web application; it's just that the tool happens to use a web interface. --- Just because there's a web front-end doesn't make it on-topic for web applications. We don't accept questions about router configuration, and almost all of them use a web front-end. Except for maybe one or two exceptions, I don't think any of these questions belong here. --- I'd also prefer not to turn off the spigot unless we have another place to send them. Can the Moderators here check in with the Moderators at Server Fault and/or Webmasters to see if they want AWS questions _carte blanche_?
