AWS S3 Storage(Simple Storage Service)

Image description

  • S3 Storage has a simple web service interface that we can use to store and retrieve any amount of data at any point in time and from anywhere on the web.

  • This is generally used for backup storage

  • S3 is an object storage system, there is no root storage available.

  • We don't require any operating system for S3 storage like EC2 Instance.

  • S3 buckets are Flat Containers which means we can store files inside a bucket but we can't create another bucket inside a bucket and store the files.

  • The Maximum Storage of the S3 Bucket is 5TB.

  • The maximum no of the bucket we can create i.e only 100 S3 buckets.

Feature of S3 Bucket

  1. Durability - It is 99.999999% durable. It maintains its durability by quickly detecting and repairing any lost redundancy.

  2. Flexible - There are various types of S3 storage available and you can easily change from one type to another

  3. Secured- There are various types of policies and encryption available to keep the data secure.

  4. Cost-effective- It is very cheapest of all the storage

These are mostly used.

S3 Versioning

  • Use of versioning is to multiple versions of an object in one bucket.
  • Generally, it keeps a copy of the old file over the new file.

Cross Region Replication

Create S3 Bucket-> Go to Management -> Replication Rule -> Create rule.

  • It enables automatic asynchronous copying of an object across buckets in different AWS regions.
  • Buckets configured for Cross Region Replication (CRR) can be owned by the same account or different accounts.

S3 Transfer Acceleration

  • Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration can speed up content transfers to and from Amazon S3 by as much as 50-500% for long-distance transfer of larger objects.
  • S3 Transfer Acceleration (S3TA) reduces the variability in Internet routing, congestion, and speeds that can affect transfers, and logically shortens the distance to S3 for remote applications
