Amazon Web Services AWS is one of the most traditional and resourceful Cloud Computing services on the market. One of the most used resources is S3.
What's AWS S3?
AWS S3 is an abbreviation for Simple Storage Service. It is a resource managed by AWS itself, that is, we do not worry about managing the infrastructure. Provides an object repository allowing you to store objects from different volumes, backups, sites, perform data analysis, manage Data Lakes, etc. It also provides several integrations with other AWS services aimed at a base repository.
S3 Structure
AWS S3 is divided into different Buckets containing a folder structure based on customer needs.
What's a Bucket?
S3 Bucket is a kind of container where all objects will be stored and organized. A very important thing is that this Bucket must be unique.

It's a well-written, easy-to-understand book covering key AWS services through practical examples. AWS or Amazon Web Services is the most widely used cloud service in the world today, if you want to understand more about the subject to be well positioned in the market, I strongly recommend the study.
