    Study Notes

    Here is a summary of the text in detailed bullet points:

    • Introduction to S3 Tutorial*
    • This tutorial is about Amazon S3, a cloud storage service provided by AWS
    • The tutorial will cover the features and technical details of S3
    • What is Cloud Storage?*
    • Cloud storage is a service that provides web-based storage for data
    • Data can be accessed, backed up, and shared over the internet
    • Cloud storage is a pay-as-you-go model, with no upfront costs or commitments
    • Types of Storage in AWS*
    • S3 (Simple Storage Service) - an object storage service
    • EBS (Elastic Block Store) - a block-level storage service that attaches to EC2 instances
    • EFS (Elastic File System) - a file-level storage service that can be accessed by multiple EC2 instances
    • Glacier - a long-term archival storage service
    • Storage Gateway - a service that integrates on-premises storage with AWS cloud storage
    • Snowball - a data import/export service that uses a physical device to transfer large amounts of data
    • How Things Were Before S3*
    • Before S3, storing and managing large amounts of data was challenging and expensive
    • Companies had to provision and manage their own storage infrastructure, which was time-consuming and costly
    • What is S3?*
    • S3 is an object storage service that provides a highly durable and scalable storage solution
    • S3 is designed for storing and retrieving large amounts of data
    • S3 provides 11.9 durability and 4.9 availability, meaning that data is highly available and durable
    • Benefits of Using S3*
    • Highly durable and scalable
    • Low cost, with a pay-as-you-go pricing model
    • Highly available, with data accessible from anywhere in the world
    • Secure, with features like encryption and access controls
    • Flexible, with multiple storage classes and lifecycle management options
    • S3 Storage Classes*
    • S3 Standard - for frequently accessed data
    • S3 Infrequent Access (IA) - for less frequently accessed data
    • S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (IA) - for less frequently accessed data that is stored in a single Availability Zone
    • S3 Glacier - for archival storage of infrequently accessed data
    • S3 Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS) - for non-critical data that can be reproduced quickly
    • Lifecycle Management*
    • Lifecycle management is a feature that allows you to define rules for transitioning data between storage classes
    • Rules can be based on time, with data automatically transitioning to a different storage class after a certain period of time
    • Lifecycle management can help reduce storage costs by automatically moving data to a lower-cost storage class
    • Bucket Policies*
    • Bucket policies are permission files that can be attached to an S3 bucket to control access to the bucket
    • Bucket policies can be used to allow or deny access to specific users or groups
    • Bucket policies can be written in JSON script
    • Data Protection*
    • S3 provides data protection features like encryption and versioning
    • Encryption can be used to protect data in transit and at rest
    • Versioning can be used to preserve multiple versions of an object, allowing for easy recovery in case of data loss or corruption
    • Cross-Region Replication*
    • Cross-region replication is a feature that automatically copies objects from one bucket to another bucket in a different AWS region
    • Cross-region replication can be used to provide additional data durability and to serve data to customers in different regions with low latency.- Cross-region replication in Amazon S3 requires versioning to be turned on, creating versions and copies of the data in another region.
    • This allows for complete data recovery in case the original region goes down, and the replicated region can be used as a standalone bucket.
    • To transfer data between buckets, proper permissions are required, which can be granted through roles.
    • Creating a replication rule in the source bucket enables data replication to the destination bucket.
    • Versioning must be enabled in both the source and destination buckets for replication to work.
    • Transfer Acceleration is a service that enables fast and secure data transfer from a client to an S3 bucket, reducing latency.
    • Transfer Acceleration uses CloudFront to copy data locally and then transfer it to the S3 bucket, bypassing the internet.
    • Enabling Transfer Acceleration can be done in the S3 bucket properties, and it helps eliminate latency when transferring large files.
    • A tool is available to compare the speed of data transfer with and without Transfer Acceleration, providing a report on the improved speed.
    • The tool tests uploading files through the internet and CloudFront, providing a calculation of the accelerated speed for different regions.
    • In the example, uploading a file to San Francisco using Transfer Acceleration was 13 times faster than uploading through the internet.
