AWS S3 Bucket

I have integrated Amazon S3 into my personal projects to store images, documents, and static files securely in the cloud instead of using local storage. I configured the bucket policy and created an IAM user with appropriate permissions to enable access. Using the Access Key and Secret Key, my application could seamlessly upload and retrieve files from the S3 bucket.

I have hands-on experience integrating Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) into my personal projects for efficient and scalable storage of images, documents, and other static assets. Instead of storing data locally, I utilized S3 to ensure secure, durable, and easily accessible cloud-based storage. As part of the implementation process, I first created an S3 bucket with proper configurations, including setting a bucket policy to control access permissions. I also created an IAM user with programmatic access and attached a policy granting the necessary permissions to interact with the S3 bucket. The IAM credentials — specifically the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key — were securely used in my application to authenticate and perform operations like uploading and retrieving files. This integration allowed my application to scale better and keep the data separate from local environments, enhancing portability and cloud-native architecture.
