Deploying Simple Storage Service (S3) Account in AWS

Introduction

The AWS Storage account S3 is a container for storing files, images, videos, and other kinds of data. S3 reduces storage costs for rarely used data and doesn't require instant access.

Amazon S3 Standard

Amazon S3 Standard is designed for high usage, "hot" data storage, High capacity, and low latency.

Amazon S3 Standard Infrequent Access (IA)

• Amazon S3 Infrequent Access is designed for data that requires less frequent access but longer storage time than S3 Standard.
• Low delays, combined with high capacity and reliability, ensure the object's safety for a long period.
• The S3 Standard Infrequent Access minimum storage period is 30 days, and the minimum size of the object is 128 KB. It is recommended for long-term storage of files, disaster recovery data, backup, and outdated sync data.

Amazon S3 One Zone - Infrequent Access

Amazon S3 One-Zone Infrequent Access is 20% less expensive than Amazon S3 Standard Infrequent Access due to its lesser availability of 99.5% within a year. Its name says all about that class, and instead of three availability zones, Amazon S3 Z-IA stores data in only one.

Step 1. Log into your AWS Console and select the region to deploy the Storage (S3) account.

Step 2. Click the Services, select the Storage, and then select S3.

Step 3. Click Create bucket.

Step 4. Enter the bucket's name. It should be unique because it will be reserved for the global namespace.

Step 5. Object Ownership: This option allows other AWS account users to manage the storage account or restrict access.

To choose other AWS account users, select ACLs enabled; otherwise, choose ACLs disabled.

Step 6. If you want to block public access, you can select how you want to block it.

Step 7. Click the Create Bucket button to deploy the S3.
