S3 101

Q: Why S3?

A: Simple Storage Service

Notes

  1. S3 is object based, allows you to upload files.
  2. Files could be 0bytes to 5TB
  3. Unlimited storage
  4. Files are stored in buckets — not folders
  5. S3 is a universal namespace — names should be unique. It’s like a one big C drive
  6. Not suitable to install an operating system
  7. Successful uploads will return a HTTP 200 status code

Basics

  • Key/Value pair
  • Key name of the object
  • Value data of the object
  • Upload - read immediately
  • Modify / Delete - not guaranteed to take effect at once.
