Getting started with Amazon S3
Hey everyone, morgan here. We're just got done talking about the different storage solutions that amazon has to offer. We're going to talk about one in particular now: amazon simple storage service. Amazon simple storage service, or s3, is a highly scalable and durable object storage solution, for storing and retrieving any amount of data. S3 is a simple and cost-effective way to store and retrieve your data at anytime, from anywhere on the web. S3 is a very popular service that is used for scenarios such as basic object storage like images or text files, storage of backups, application file hosting, media hosting, and many other use cases. It can be used to store virtually any type of document or object at a large scale, as s3 has an unlimited capacity for your storage needs.
Okay, so we have this great app right? we can't deny the world this wonderfulness, we need to get this out there so everyone can see it. So, we're going to host this on aws, and to do that we're going to use the amplify command line interface. So we can go to aws. Amazon. Com/amplify to get started. Now one of the first things it's going to have us do is create an aws account. The account is free but you do have to give them payment information in case you go over the limits of the free tier. You can see all the details here under the pricing tab, and understand when you might actually start getting charged.
Before we get started, you need to: sign-up for amazon s3. If you haven't yet done this, do so here. Created a bucket. To create a bucket, use one of the many tools that exist for amazon s3.
Amazon S3 Storage Classes
Amazon s3 is one of the most important services on aws, so knowing it well can come in handy during an examination. 
Some prominent topics for certifications are storage classes, consistency model, acl and policy, performance and lifecycle models. This amazon s3 cheat sheet was created to give you an edge in an exam. However, it is highly recommended that you refer to the amazon s3 faqs for a full refresher course on amazon s3 topics before you head into an exam.
Before delving into the specifics of amazon s3 pricing, you need to understand the characteristics that affect aws s3 storage costs. They include the following. First, storage classes – s3 includes four different categories of storage: s3 standard is designed for use with "hot" or frequently accessed data. S3 standard-ia is for cool data that is accessed less frequently. It has a lower price per gb stored but requires a fee for data access. S3 one zone-ia is for cool data that doesn't require high availability, for example, backup data this is also stored at another location. While other categories of aws s3 storage replicate data across three different zones to ensure availability, s3 one zone-ia data is stored in only one location and thus is significantly less expensive.
With amazon s3, you can store data across a range of different s3 storage classes: s3 standard, s3 intelligent-tiering, s3 standard-infrequent access (s3 standard-ia), s3 one zone-infrequent access (s3 one zone-ia), amazon s3 glacier (s3 glacier), and amazon s3 glacier deep archive (s3 glacier deep archive). Every s3 storage class supports a specific data access level at corresponding costs. This means you can store mission-critical production data in s3 standard for frequent access, save costs by storing infrequently accessed data in s3 standard-ia or s3 one zone-ia, and archive data at the lowest costs in the archival storage classes — s3 glacier and s3 glacier deep archive. You can use s3 storage class analysis to monitor access patterns across objects to discover data that should be moved to lower-cost storage classes.
Amazon S3 tools [ edit ]
Amazon's virtual infrastructure menu is a very long list indeed, but an undeniable star on that list is amazon s3. If you're looking for a business cloud storage solution that emphasizes enterprise-grade sescurity with extreme customizability, look no farther. Its features here are so robust that despite its weakness in ease of use, we rate it on par with dropbox business and egnyte business —the more user-friendly editors' choices in this category. At its core, amazon simple storage service (s3) is a bit bucket that acts as the storage end of a virtual infrastructure-as-a-service (iaas) solution housed in the amazon web services (aws) cloud. 
As such, simply signing up for amazon s3 means you will need skilled it professionals on your staff who can understand and work with amazon's native tools to build a working storage and backup solution for you.
What is Amazon S3?
Go to the overview page of your bucket and click “upload” drag and drop the files created by the ng build command before. They are located in your dist folder. 
Click upload. When the files are successfully uploaded you will be able to see your application by navigate to the following url(change the name and zone with yours): your-bucket-name. S3-website-your-bucket-zone. Amazonaws. Com if you have followed all the steps – congrats! this is the minimal setup to see your application online. Now, we will cover a few more steps how to optimize the things a little bit.

In some ways, amazon s3 is such an important product for cloud computing that it can help you understand the benefits of the cloud itself, not just this amazon product. It all starts with scalability. Any user can sign up for s3 for free and start using object storage for a simple in-house app you build over lunch. The console is not designed only for developers and computer scientists, and the service is not meant only for massive companies to process massive amounts of data. Even startups can sign-up and use amazon s3, gaining access to a platform that provides 5gb of storage, 20,000 “get” requests for an app, and 2,000 “put” requests without having to build a data center.
Amazon simple storage service is storage for the internet. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers. Amazon s3 has a simple web services interface that you can use to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.
Amazon s3 features and benefits include: allows unlimited data and object storage of most data types in a variety of formats. A stored data set, which is an object, ranges from 1 b to 5 tb. Provides reduced redundancy storage (rrs), which reduces latency by storing data in regionally segregated buckets. This saves resources and facilitates application efficiency for users in geographically dispersed locations. Strong authentication ensures the security of regionally stored data. Provides representational state transfer (rest) and simple object access protocol (soap) web service interfaces that are built to operate with any type of web development toolkit.
