AWS has unveiled a major enhancement to its S3 object storage service at this year's re:Invent conference in Las Vegas. This new addition, AWS S3 Express One Zone, introduces a high-performance and low-latency tier for S3, promising an impressive 10x improvement in write speed, which is an improvement on the standard S3 service.
This update, known as One Zone, is designed to bring substantial performance enhancements to data-intensive applications, including tasks such as AI/ML training, financial modeling, and high-performance computing. While capable of handling objects of any size, AWS emphasizes that Express One Zone excels in use cases where applications need to access vast quantities of small files due to its low-latency access. In fact, it can read these small objects up to 10x faster than the S3 Standard service.
The S3 Express One Zone tier is now available for general use, providing AWS customers with a powerful and efficient option for storage that caters to the demands of high-performance applications while offering cost savings on requests.
