Overview of key features for managing your S3 storage order.
Object storage is ideal for storing large volumes of unstructured data, offering scalability, durability, and easy accessibility from anywhere.
S3 is a scalable object storage system designed for storing, managing, and retrieving any amount of data, often used for backups, websites, logs, media, and software delivery.
S3 stores data as objects in buckets. Each object includes the data itself, metadata, and a unique identifier, accessible via API or web interfaces.
Unlike block or file storage, object storage manages data as discrete units (objects) with metadata, allowing easier scalability, better redundancy, and direct access via HTTP.
Billing typically depends on used storage volume (in GB), number of requests, and data transfer. Most S3 storage solutions are pay-as-you-go with no hard limits on capacity.
S3 storage ensures backup through built-in redundancy, replication across availability zones, and access control policies that manage who can retrieve the data.
Many providers offer S3-compatible APIs, making it easy to use existing tools and integrations designed for AWS S3 without modification.
You can migrate data via APIs, tools like rclone or s3cmd, or use automated services offered by providers for secure and efficient data transfer.
Yes, S3 storage can be mounted using tools like s3fs or third-party gateways, allowing you to access buckets as if they were local folders.
A bucket is a logical container used to store objects in S3 storage. Each object resides in a bucket and is uniquely identified by a key.
