What is AWS S3 bucket

It stands for Simple Storage Service offered by AWS that provides object storage. This is one of the best storage services in terms of any cloud storage services available. AWS s3 provides availability of 99.99999999999 (99.11 9’s), that means there is almost no chance of getting data lost once you place it in the S3.

AWS s3 types of storage

There are different types of S3 storage is available as listed below:

S3 Standard

This type of S3 bucket class offers high availability, durability, and performance object storage for frequently accessed data. S3 standard  storage class delivers low latency and high throughput for frequently accessed data and hence it is used in many use cases, including cloud applications, content distribution, dynamic websites, gaming applications and big data analytics.

S3 Intelligent-tier

This type of storage class is designed to minimize the cost of S3 data storage by automatically moving data to the most cost-effective access tier, without performance hindrance. It  works by storing the data in two different tiers; one tier which is cost optimized where data is kept which is not accessed frequently. And the other tier where the data is accessed frequently.

S3 Standard-IA

This tier comes with its own functionality where the data is accessed less frequently, but requires high access speed when needed. This tier gives high durability, high throughput and low latency, the same as the S3 standard.

S3 One Zone-IA

This tier is used when the data which is accessed from the S3 is infrequent, but requires high throughput. Unlike other s3 storage class we discussed above which stores data in all the three availability zones S3 One Zone-IA stores data in only one availability zone and costs 20% less than S3 standard-IA. It is a good option for storing the backup’s at low cost and are accessed frequently in case of disaster happen .

S3 Glacier

S3 Glacier is a type of storage class which is secure, durable and low cost storage for data archiving. You can store an amount of data here and it will surely cost less than any other storage class and competitive to on-premise solutions. It is the cheapest tier to store the data. But to retrieve the data from Glacier it will take some time varying for minutes to hours. So, it is widely used to store data which are old and are very less used.

S3 Glacier Deep Archive

AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive is Amazon S3’s lowest-cost storage class. S3 Glacier Deep Archive supports long-term data which are used rarely like once or twice a year. It is made for the users who want to preserve the old data and retain it for 7-10 years. It guarantees the high availability of 99.99999999999% and durability is also high, the only downside is it takes around 12 hours to restore the data back.
