Amazon S3 Tutorial

Amazon S3:

By using Amazon S3 we can upload the data where, initially we have to create a bucket in one of the AWS Regions to store the data.

In Amazon S3 you can upload an unlimited number of data objects to the bucket.

The Buckets have configuration properties, which includes their geographic area, which has access to the objects in the bucket, and other metadata.

Here are the steps to create a process for Amazon S3.
