Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)

Manage and reduce storage costs with


S3 Storage Classes

Amazon S3 is the largest and most performant, secure, and feature-rich object
storage service. S3 is designed for 99.999999999% (11 9s) of durability, and stores
data for millions of companies all around the world.

S3 offers a range of storage classes that you can choose from based on the data
access, resiliency, and cost requirements of your workloads. S3 storage classes are
purpose-built to provide the lowest cost storage for different access patterns, and
virtually any use case. With the S3 Storage Classes, S3 Storage Lens, S3 Storage
Class Analysis, and S3 Lifecycle policies, you can enable storage cost efficiencies
without impacting availability or performance.

All S3 Storage Classes are


designed for 99.999999999%
durability

How is this achieved?


S3 maintains this unmatched durability by creating copies of all objects uploaded to S3 and storing
them across multiple systems within a single AWS Region. 11 9s of durability protects your data for all
storage classes against site-level failures, errors, and threats. S3 provides even greater resiliency with
data replicated to 3+ Availability Zones (AZs) in a single Region that are separated by a minimum of 1
mile, and no more than 100 miles.

Data lifecycle management


If you don't know your data access patterns, or it's unpredictable, you should use S3 Intelligent-Tiering
to automatically save on storage costs, without operational overhead, or impacts to performance. If
you have well-known and predictable access patterns, then you can use S3 Storage Class Analysis with
S3 Lifecycle to define rules to move data to lower-cost storage classes.
