Is there a way to securely delete files on aws?

The short answer is no, there is no wipe utility. If you delete the file permanently, the file is gone and it cannot be recovered (unless you have snapshots or other items that might keep the file stored). However, there is not a way to wipe the disk.

Don't forget, though, that AWS uses server virtualization so that your disk storage does not necessarily correspond to one physical disk platter. Instead, it is a virtual storage system spread over many drives. When your file is deleted, it is gone from public access.

Then Amazon designates that area of disk for write-only operations so that your data gets overwritten quickly.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
