Oh Amazon product naming is so annoying. Why is it "AWS Glue" but not "AWS Athena"? Why is Relational Database Service always "RDS" but Database Migration Service is referred to by it's full name? Why is it "Amazon Redshift" and "Amazon QLDB" but NOT "Amazon Neptune"? Why do any of the names need to contain "Amazon" or "AWS"? There's no logic to any of it. Then you get the hideous double whammy of concatenation AND acronyms such as the lovely "Amazon FreeRTOS", I guess they pushed that one out the day Marketing were all at a conference or something.
