    • Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a web service offered by Amazon Web Services. Amazon S3 provides storage through web services interfaces (REST, SOAP, and BitTorrent). [1] Amazon launched S3 on its fifth publicly available web service, in the United States in March 2006 and in Europe in November 2007. Amazon says that S3 uses the same scalable storage infrastructure that Amazon.com uses to run its own global e-commerce network. [2] Amazon S3 is reported to store more than 2 trillion objects . [3] This is up from 10 billion as of October 2007, 14 billion in January 2008, 29 billion in October 2008, 52 billion in March 2009, [4] 64 billion objects in August 2009, [5] and 102 billion objects in March 2010. [6] S3 uses include web hosting, image hosting, and storage for backup systems. S3 guarantees 99.9% monthly uptime service-level agreement (SLA), [7] that is, not more than 43 minutes of downtime per month. [8]

    • Amazon S3 is intentionally built with a minimal feature set.
      • Write, read, and delete objects containing from 1 byte to 5 terabytes of data each. The number of objects you can store is unlimited.
      • Each object is stored in a bucket and retrieved via a unique, developer-assigned key.
      • A bucket can be stored in one of several Regions. You can choose a Region to optimize for latency, minimize costs, or address regulatory requirements. Amazon S3 is currently available in the US Standard, US West (Oregon), US West (Northern California), EU (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), South America (Sao Paulo), and GovCloud (US) Regions. The US Standard Region automatically routes requests to facilities in Northern Virginia or the Pacific Northwest using network maps.
      • Objects stored in a Region never leave the Region unless you transfer them out. For example, objects stored in the EU (Ireland) Region never leave the EU.
      • Authentication mechanisms are provided to ensure that data is kept secure from unauthorized access. Objects can be made private or public, and rights can be granted to specific users.
      • Options for secure data upload/download and encryption of data at rest are provided for additional data protection.
      • Uses standards-based REST and SOAP interfaces designed to work with any Internet-development toolkit.
      • Built to be flexible so that protocol or functional layers can easily be added. The default download protocol is HTTP. A BitTorrent™ protocol interface is provided to lower costs for high-scale distribution.
      • Reliability backed with the Amazon S3 Service Level Agreement.
