Does this feature add proprietary musings to the S3 protocol? Vendor lock-in?

I treat AWS like a mainframe. Always remember you’re renting it and make sure you cost an exit plan or persistent payments and you’re fine.

The "S3 Protocol" is REST over HTTP, I would imagine nothing changes from the client side, it's still a regular GET request.

They show an example further down - the client just uses a different bucket name in the exact same call.
