Preface

The Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an online object storage service. It can be used to store and get any data via the following:

  • The REST web service interface
  • The SOAP web service interface
  • BitTorrent

Amazon S3 is easy to configure; it's a reliable and scalable storage that stores files (objects) with high security at a nominal price. Developers or system teams don't have to worry about the data that is stored at or retrieved from Amazon S3. Amazon S3 manages the web-scale computing by itself.
