This seems good.

I'm wondering whether this would be better as an InterfaceName_t.

S3 is a network protocol that different implementations support.  In 
principal, an implementation could support multiple object store 
protocols (e.g., CDMI, S3, Swift, ..).  For example, there are S3 
gateways that use a Swift object-store; such a service could expose a 
Swift and S3 endpoints.

To my mind, a Service with service_t of com.aws.s3 would indicate 
Amazon's S3 service, or someone deploying the software Amazon is using.

In contrast to S3, the Ceph protocol is tightly under Ceph's (now 
RedHat's) control, with applications achieving compatibility through the 
use of libradios.

Therefore, this as a service_t makes perfect sense.

HTH,

Paul.
