Low-cost and reliable object storage

Since it can temporarily store all kinds of data as a data lake, it was adopted as a storage destination for data generated by IoT devices that are difficult to predict and voice data for cloud services. With limited resources, such as local ones, it is difficult to estimate the initial investment and scale up, but using S3, there are no upfront costs and you only pay for the amount used.

PROS

The ultimate in cloud storage with the highest levels of availability and durability. Attractively, you can use storage at a low cost per TB. Data sent from IoT devices, logs from all AWS services, backups of AWS services, and so on. They can be stored in any format without worrying about running out of capacity resources, which gives us a great sense of reliability and security.

CONS

The fee schedule is confusing, making it challenging to estimate total costs. I want a more accurate cost simulation function. I also want a safety warning function because incorrect configuration increases safety risks.

Reason for choosing Amazon S3

Amazon S3 charges only for the amount used with capacity billing. Being object storage, although the architecture is different from file systems such as Windows and Linux, it can be used as if it were an instance file system. S3 is less expensive per unit of capacity than EBS or EFS. Although it is cheap, the data is triple-protected by default, so it can be easily used without backups.

Reasons for switching to Amazon S3

Analysis processes, such as fluid analysis and structural analysis, generate a large amount of data near the TB. When the data is so large, it is not realistic to copy it to the company's server every time it is calculated. By moving it to Amazon S3, we were able to significantly reduce the costs we had with Microsoft Azure.

Amazon S3

Overall, S3 is a great provider for storage solutions. You just need to watch the bills and see how you can keep them in check.

PROS

It is true that AWS is a juggernaut in the industry. This is the reason I used them as my primary offsite backup repository. Many popular applications like Backup Exec integrate very nicely with S3. There is tons of documentation out there for most applications on how to use S3 with their products. The free trials for the first year are nice too.

CONS

I kept noticing that my data pool was getting larger and larger due to the types of devices I was backing up. Amazon "micro" charges for everything and my bill started to grow exponentially. You are charged for data coming in, out, at rest, long term storage, not stored long enough, lists, etc. This started to become unwieldy. Their charges are not high but in my case they just grew too much so I had to switch solutions.

A Simple Cloud Object Storage

Amazon S3 helps to setup the industry level infrastructure with no big investment and do not require the long term commitment as we can buy the storage space on hourly wages. The different storage classes help us to remain within the budget.

PROS

Amazon S3 is a simple cloud based object storage. The different storage classes are designed to manage the data as per the requirements of the objects. The Intelligent S3 Tiering upgrade or downgrade the storage class based on the access patterns of the object to enhance the availability and durability. The S3 cross region replication helps in replication of the S3 objects in other regions. The multi-factor authentication delete on S3 bucket is really a life saver feature to protect from accidental deletion of objects.

CONS

Amazon S3 is not as simple as its name, the objects locks and versioning features are amazing but not easy as the learning curves sharp. The Storage monitoring provides limited number of notifications under the free tier.

Reason for choosing Amazon S3

Amazon S3 is the industry leading solution by Amazon Web Services. It has solutions for all startup’s and large enterprise. The cost effectiveness is one of the reasons that I have selected the Amazon S3 over other.

CONS

There are not great ways to make data public. These methods exist, but mostly require scripting or custom cloud formation apps.

Great for file storage

This is the de facto industry standard for storing files. It's great and I'd recommend it to any team that has a website or something similar where they need to store/host files.

PROS

It's super easy to use. Cheap, reliable, and effective network storage. There is both a web GUI as well as client libraries for interacting with S3 via its REST API.

CONS

Some of the AWS CLI commands for interacting with S3 are a bit clunky. It would be nice if they streamlined the CLI to be a bit easier to use.

Reason for choosing Amazon S3

Simple and flexible service for Storage Solution

S3, at least in terms of distributed storage, has genuinely transformed the world. Calling an API, pushing data to it, and then forgetting about the data center that holds it is an idea that none of us would have believed a few years ago, yet here we are, with massive quantities of businesses relying on S3 and prospering. Since the first introduction of S3, Amazon has constantly developed and released capabilities, each of which is incredibly valuable and complementary to the preceding feature set. We utilize S3 for a variety of applications, from public UGC buckets for web apps to internal data vaults that store sensitive and confidential information that is protected at rest. S3 is a good fit. I began by utilising S3 as an off-site backup service, then expanded to include additional services. It performs its goal admirably, although it is a touch inconvenient, with several modifications along the process and a rigid business strategy.

PROS

We don't worry about the help since we're on vacation because it's so accessible and repetitious. Use Amazon's SDKs to get basic functionality from a variety of structures, or create your own. There are a plethora of container techniques and security improvements that may be tailored to meet the demands of individual clients. Solid compatibility with the AWS biology system, notably in terms of access permissions. It's so reliable that you can count on it to stay online and available from anywhere in the earth. Its static site facilitating feature is a hidden gem: it provides the least priced, most reliable, and high-performing static web facilitating available in PaaS. In today's world, data is king, thus storing large amounts of data is critical. Amazon's Simple Storage Solution (s3) is the finest and most cheap cloud storage service on the market. On S3, we may store large amounts of data in a variety of formats, including documents, text files, PDFs, audio, video, and more. S3 offers a variety of storage choices, including frequent data and seldom used data that may be saved on AWS Glacier's low-cost storage. The data is stored on AWS S3 and protected with multi-level access protocols such as public, private, and so on.

CONS

AWS environment is riddled with perplexing and incomprehensible configuration options, and S3 is no exception. Fortunately, it's widely used, to the point that you can always find arrangements on sites like StackOverflow. Because S3 defaults to security rather than open access, getting IAM consents to work correctly for Static Website facilitating takes some trial and error. Because AWS S3 is incompatible with system-level applications such as desktops, it has to find a solution that is simple to use. We are unable to store files larger than 5 GB.

A huge and cheap tool for storing several TB of data

Amazon S3 is the heart of our cloud architecture, providing all the buckets we need to read/write data, both from production and sand environment. It's highly integrated with other AWS services and it's quite cheap and easy to set up and manage.

PROS

It's a cheap solution for storing data. You can easily access AWS s3 both with data processing platforms (e.g. Spark) and client softwares (e.g. Cyberduck). You can also choose which type of storage fits better your need, depending of the access frequency (once a week, once a month, once a year...). AWS S3 supports all data format, while some of them (parquet and iceberg) are highly recommended for storing huge tables. You can also set lifecycle rules to delete old and unused files after a custom period.

CONS

As a minor hiccup, there is some trouble in deleting corrupted files.

Simple Storage Service for everyone

Before S3 we stored our sensitive files on hard drives where also our web application resides. One day it crashed and the files were gone. We started to use S3 and now our application does not depend on where is resides. We don't worry whether our storage is enough. I also use S3 to store my personal files. It is very cheap.

PROS

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an object storage service for the cloud. You can store any amount of data and access it anywhere in the world. You may stop depending on hard drives for your web applications and start using Amazon S3 to store your media files, log files etc. It provides 99.999999999% durability which means you may lose just one file in 10,000 years. S3 has versioning option which helps you to prevent accidential deletions. Lifecycle policies help you manage and automate the life of your objects in S3, keeping you from leaving your data unnecessarily available. For example, you can set a lifecycle for your log files to be automatically deleted after 30 days. You can host a static website easily and in a cost effective way without worrying about the underlying hardware.

CONS

S3 has buckets to store objects and these buckets have universal names. So for example, you probably won't be able to open a bucket named "photos". Configuring security is a bit tricky. You have to be careful which buckets will be public and which will be private.

a simple but fairly expensive cloud based data storage solution for your enterprise

Overall experience is very good, and aws cli interface which nicely works with python and the linux terminal enables one to smoothen the overall aws s3 experiences. Because there are no restrictions on filesizes or file types, any company can host its data on aws s3 and be sure to have reliable service. The caveat with aws s3 is that one must understand that it is not a traditional database storage system, therefore will not behave like one. also ensure the admin of the software must be well versed with the various concepts surrounding aws s3 to enable the best bang for buck. I would recommend this without reservations.

PROS

Literally anything and every type of file can be saved to s3 buckets without any limitations. Images,csvs and what not can be easily and safely stored to s3 buckets. One can provision users to have specific permissions regarding bucket access. Literally 99.999% availability at most times.

CONS

it is only as good as the user/admin who knows how to make the most out of this software. there is a deep learning process involved without which one could be flying blind and exposing otherwise sensitive data to the public. the search functionality is practically absent. So there is no easy way of choosing or searching for files. the date columns on the UI seldom work

Multi-Factor Authentication can be enabled on delete operation which help in accidental delete operation. Versioning of objects can be enabled from bucket.

A Bit Daunting at First, But Powerful Enough for Wide-Ranging Uses

Amazon S3 is, of all of the major public/private storage services on the enterprise level, probably the easiest and most-reliable. For most basic uses, it excels at being as easy as managing files on your own web servers. Additonally, when combined with Amazon Route 53, it can be a rapid static web serving option. However, when you start getting into advanced security options or attempting to ensure that your files are only accessible to your own applications, you need to be very adept at studying Amazon's specific ACL formats, lest you lock yourself out or, even worse, expose your data to public download. Nonetheless, there's probably nothing better in this area, and the time that you spend learning these skills is well worth it for this service.

PROS

Flexible storage options, integrates well with other Amazon Web Services options, able to be used for static web hosting, fine-grained security settings

CONS

Advanced security settings are often hard to configure, pricing is not always clear and it is possible to quickly accrue large fees when testing

Reason for choosing Amazon S3

Better pricing, better availability zones

Great option for file storage

Overall it has been a great tool for hosting files, both submitted through our web app but also internal files that we serve on our site. It allows us to control who has access to certain buckets and an easy way to securely receive files from our clients.

PROS

We use S3 buckets to store data that is submitted through our website. This is great because it allows sensitive data to be uploaded and transferred securely to our team. It also allows for quite a bit of security on the back end to ensure that no one is able to get in and access your files. When you want to host files for your website, this is a great option as well. Whether you're looking to host image files or some other asset. Linking to your S3 bucket allows for easy asset management.

CONS

S3 buckets are a bit complicated to set up. We luckily have an AWS administrator who handles most of it but I definitely found there to be a learning curve that required reading a few online guides to make sure I was configuring it correctly. With that complication, however, comes the ability to really control the security level of your buckets.

s3 auto rewrites the file, need not handle if file exists delete then write etc.. it gives ability to create static web pages, can be used as a redirecting page it can be used in sql copy commands, where a query generated results can be stored into the s3 file in different formats can set different permission models to a file or a set of files in a bucket has Java jar's, python support and ubuntu command line support so that it can be automated through programming

CONS

the file or folder name cant be a prefix sub string of other file name example : if i have file1.csv and file1.csv.zip if i delete file1.csv through code , it deletes both the files and the static web hosting dont support https, for this we have to do a workaround
