Object_store: s3 or object_store: aws?

Hello!

The documentation is very inconsistent and confusing.

Here (loki/_index.md at main · grafana/loki · GitHub) it states:

# Which store to use for the chunks. Either aws, azure, gcp, bigtable, gcs,
# cassandra, swift, filesystem or a named_store (refer to named_stores_config).

So, I can use “aws”. Right. But in every example I find object_store: s3 is used instead:

github.com

grafana/loki/blob/main/docs/sources/configuration/examples.md#2-s3-cluster-exampleyaml

---
title: Examples
description: Loki Configuration Examples

 # Examples

## alibaba-cloud-storage-config.yaml

```yaml

# This partial configuration uses Alibaba for chunk storage

schema_config:
  configs:
  - from: 2020-05-15
    object_store: alibabacloud
    schema: v11
    index:
      prefix: loki_index_
      period: 168h

This file has been truncated. show original

There are plenty of example configurations spread out across the repository. But even if you go to the website, it uses “s3” as object_store in the examples, which isn’t an option according to the configuration documentation.

Can someone help me with this confusion?

Regards
