AWS – S3

What is S3?
➢Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service
that offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and
performance.
➢This means customers of all sizes and industries can use it to store and
protect any amount of data for a range of use cases, such as websites,
mobile applications, backup and restore, archive, enterprise applications,
IoT devices, and big data analytics.
➢Amazon S3 provides easy-to-use management features so you can
organize your data and configure finely-tuned access controls to meet
your specific business, organizational, and compliance requirements.
➢Amazon S3 is designed for 99.999999999% (11 9's) of durability, and
stores data for millions of applications for companies all around the
world.
S3 Storage Classes
S3 Consistency Models
➢Amazon S3 provides read-after-write consistency for PUTS of new objects in
your S3 bucket in all Regions with one caveat. The caveat is that if you make
a HEAD or GET request to the key name (to find if the object exists) before
creating the object, Amazon S3 provides eventual consistency for read-after-
write.
➢Amazon S3 offers eventual consistency for overwrite PUTS and DELETES in
all Regions.
➢Updates to a single key are atomic. For example, if you PUT to an existing
key, a subsequent read might return the old data or the updated data, but it
never returns corrupted or partial data.
➢Amazon S3 achieves high availability by replicating data across multiple
servers within AWS data centres.
Buckets & Objects
➢To upload your data (photos, videos, documents etc.) to Amazon S3,
you must first create an S3 bucket in one of the AWS Regions. You can
then upload any number of objects to the bucket
➢For example, you can create a bucket and upload objects using the
Amazon S3 API. You can also use the Amazon S3 console to perform
these operations. The console uses the Amazon S3 APIs to send
requests to Amazon S3.
➢Amazon S3 is a simple key, value store designed to store as many
objects as you want. You store these objects in one or more buckets.
Objects
An object consists of the following:
➢Key - The name that you assign to an object. You use the object key to retrieve
the object.
➢Version ID - Within a bucket, a key and version ID uniquely identify an object.
The version ID is a string that Amazon S3 generates when you add an object to a
bucket.
➢Value - The content that you are storing. An object value can be any sequence of
bytes. Objects can range in size from zero to 5 TB.
➢Metadata - A set of name-value pairs with which you can store information
regarding the object.
➢Access Control Information - You can control access to the objects you store in
Amazon S3. Amazon S3 supports both the resource-based access control, such as
an access control list (ACL) and bucket policies, and user-based access control.
Bucket/Object Access Control
➢An S3 ACL is a sub-resource that's attached to every S3 bucket and object.
It defines which AWS accounts or groups are granted access and the type
of access. When you create a bucket or an object, Amazon S3 creates a
default ACL that grants the resource owner full control over the resource
➢S3 bucket policies, on the other hand, are attached only to S3 buckets. S3
bucket policies specify what actions are allowed or denied for which
principals on the bucket that the bucket policy is attached to (e.g. allow
user Alice to PUT but not DELETE objects in the bucket).
➢S3 access can be limits through IAM policies too by specifying what kind
of actions would one like the user to do to what resource(bucket).
S3 IAM Policy - Example

The user, group or role to whom this policy is attached will have full access
to that particular bucket and objects within that bucket.
S3 Bucket Policy - Example

This bucket policy gives access to user Alice under account number
11111222223333 and to the person who owns the account to work with
the bucket called my_bucket and all objects within it.
