What is S3 and its Uses in AWS?
Get started with Amazon S3. Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is an object storage service that provides industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance. Amazon S3 allows you to store and retrieve any quantity of data at any time and from any location.
Amazon S3 provides management features so that you can optimise, organise, and configure access to your data to meet your specific business, organisational, and compliance requirements.
