Summary

Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is an object storage service for storing and retrieving unlimited amounts of data. Data is stored as an object in a bucket, accessed via HTTP-based APIs, and has a very high auto-resilience. S3 also offers a variety of storage classes and versioning to manage cost and data protection.

The object is identified by a unique key inside the bucket
Storage classes vary to adjust access costs
