Has AWS ever sunsetted a service?

I know they deprecated SimpleDB but I don't think they ever actually shut it down for existing customers, that might have changed in the last few years though.

As you mention my understanding is that that there’s one service no longer offered to new customers but they are still supporting it for those that were using it. This is a big difference between AWS and Google’s approach to customers. A number of friends’ companies got hit really hard when Google suddenly decided they no longer wanted to do something anymore (regardless of what their customer thought). That list is big and growing: killedbygoogle.com
