A satirical technical exploration of using Amazon S3 as a message queue to route IPv6 packets between machines, bypassing expensive NAT Gateway costs. The author implements 'Hoshino', a proof-of-concept tool that creates TUN devices to intercept network packets, stores them in S3, and retrieves them on destination machines. While technically functional for basic connectivity like ping and HTTP requests, the approach proves hilariously expensive due to S3 API call costs, making it far more costly than traditional networking solutions.
