AWS S3


AWS S3

S3 - Amazon S3 or Amazon Simple Storage Service is a "simple storage service" offered by Amazon Web Services that provides object storage through a web service interface. Amazon S3 uses the same scalable storage infrastructure that Amazon.com uses to run its global e-commerce network.  – Wikipedia



That means you meant to say that S3 is like Google Drive, Drop box, One Drive?

Not Exactly, but like that.

S3 is a storage place where you can store and retrieve your data. S3 is based on the object storage.


What is Object Storage?

Object storage is a computer data storage architecture that manages data as objects, as opposed to other storage architectures like file systems which manage data as a file hierarchy, and block storage which manages data as blocks within sectors and tracks. - Wikipedia


S3 in some other words

It is a scalable, high-speed, web-based cloud storage service designed for online backup and archiving of data and applications on Amazon Web Services.



Words Related to S3:
  • #Bucket – Similar to the Folder where we will place the files.
  • #Objects – Similar to the Files where our data will be present.

How can I able to access the S3 Bucket?


By Default, each S3 Bucket you create in AWS will attached with the Endpoint URL through which you can able to access the S3 Bucket.

E.g.:

http(s)://<bucket>. s3.amazonaws.com/<object>

http(s)://s3.amazonaws.com/<bucket>/<object>



Amazon S3 offers a range of storage classes designed for different use cases.


S3 Standard for general - purpose storage of frequently accessed data;

S3 Intelligent - Tie-ring for data with unknown or changing access patterns;

S3 Standard - Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA)

S3 One Zone - Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA) for long-lived, but less frequently accessed data;

Amazon S3 Glacier (S3 Glacier) and Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive (S3 Glacier Deep Archive) for long-term archive and digital preservation.

BIG DATA ANALYTICS

BIG DATA ANALYTICS Have you ever hit upon how Amazon and Flip kart could possible verdict what we want; how the Google auto completes our search; how the YouTube looks into videos we want to watch? When we open YouTube, we will be at sixes and sevens, when we find ads related to what we have searched earlier in the past days. This is where we find ourselves in the era of big data analytics. More than 3 trillion bytes of information are being generated everyday through our smart phones, tablets, GPS devices, etc.  Have we thought about what can be done with all these information? This is where the data analytics comes into play. Big data analytics is just the study of future build up to store data in order to extract the behaviour patterns. The entire social networking website gathers our data which are related to our interest which is usually done by using our past search or any other social information. Data analytics will lead to a walkover in near future. 

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) What is AWS EC2 ? Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, EC2 is a web service from Amazon that provides resizable compute services in the cloud. What do you mean by resizable in AWS EC2 ? You can quickly scale up or scale down the number of server instance you are using based upon on your traffic.  What is called as Instance? An instance is a virtual server for running applications on Amazon’s EC2. Simply Virtual Machine is called as Instance(i.e)it holds the HDD, OS, RAM, Network Connection Whatever things that are need to run a system.  Note : Everything is Virtual You can’t able to see the HDD, RAM , or CPU. Only thing is you can able to configure it based on your need.    So here is the Definition….  Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers. Why Amazon EC2 ?   Pay-as-you

CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICES

Services provided by Cloud Computing   1. Software as a service :  It is process by which the software will be provided by the cloud server's. Instead of using the software in our local machine we can directly use the cloud services directly to get our work done.   Example : Google Slides, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Zoho Writer,....etc. 2. Platform as a service : It is process by which you can directly use platform like windows , linux , Mac, ....Which ever you need to done your work. Example : There are certain software which might be run only certain platform. Assume I have windows operating system but i am doing research in BIG DATA. There Linux Operation system might be handy for my research work. Where it is hard for me to put Operating System again and again to my local machine and taking backup data. So Cloud Computing Services Makes our work easier whatever platform we need it will provide us without any loss in data or hard backup pro
