AWS Core S3 Concepts

In 2006, S3 was one of the first services provided by AWS. Many features have been introduced since then, but the core principles of S3 remain Buckets and Objects.

• AWS Buckets

  Buckets are containers for objects that we choose to store. It is necessary to remember that S3 allows the bucket name to be globally unique.

• AWS Objects

  Objects are the actual items that we store in S3. They are marked by a key, which is a sequence of Unicode characters with a maximum length of 1,024 bytes in UTF-8 encoding.
