S3 Clones in the Neoclouds

This article reviews security implications of S3-compatible object storage offerings (Nebius, Crusoe, Vultr, Lambda Labs, Cloudflare, DigitalOcean), explaining where assumptions from AWS S3 break and highlighting risks including public-bucket behaviors, access-key discovery patterns, lack of fine-grained least-privilege controls, presigned-URL exposure, differing encryption and TLS defaults, limited logging, and bucket name squatting. The piece advises auditing provider-specific features and not relying on AWS defaults when using S3 clones.
