Thanks for your input: There are buckets with over 15m files and >300 shards, but yesterday a customer with 2.5m files and 101 shards complained about the slowness of listing files. We do not have indexless buckets. I am not sure if a customer can create such a bucket on their own via the usual tooling, but we do not create such buckets. I am happy to know that the default settings go up to 1999 shards, and I reshard on my own (because we have a multi zonegroup setting, without replication of buckets). So I tent to "overshard" buckets a bit (jump from 11 to 101 to 263) because I don't want to monitor the logfile continuously. Am Mo., 29.
