Amazon Simple Storage Service, commonly referred to as Amazon S3, is an object storage service from Amazon Web Services. It is fast, scalable, and highly resilient. Amazon S3 is used ubiquitously in non-trivial solutions built on AWS that require data storage.

There are many important features of Amazon S3 that engineers should be familiar with. These include:

• Policies and permissions to restrict access to data
