The record

What it does: Amazon S3 is an object storage service for storing, managing, analyzing, and protecting data for use cases including data lakes, cloud-native applications, and mobile apps.
Elastic storage: S3 automatically grows and shrinks as data is added or removed, with no need to provision storage.
Durability and availability: S3 is designed for 99.999999999% data durability and 99.99% availability by default.
Storage classes: S3 offers storage classes for different access patterns, including frequent access, infrequent access, and archiving.
Data recovery: S3 Versioning preserves object versions, and S3 Replication can copy objects to buckets in the same or different AWS Regions.
Analytics integrations: S3 works with Amazon Athena and Amazon Redshift Spectrum to query data in place using SQL.
AI and vector storage: S3 Vectors provides native vector storage and querying, including integration with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases.
Security: S3 encrypts object uploads and provides S3 Block Public Access controls at bucket or account level.
Compliance: AWS says S3 maintains compliance programs including PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, FedRAMP, and FISMA.
Retention controls: S3 Object Lock can prevent object version deletion during a customer-defined retention period.
Developer access: AWS documents access through its Management Console, CLI, SDKs, and REST API, with SDKs for Java, .NET, Python, PHP, Node.js, and Ruby.
Pricing limits: Some archived objects have minimum storage durations of 90 or 180 days, and early deletion incurs a prorated charge.
Free tier: AWS offers a Free Tier for Amazon S3 and describes it as a way to get started, but the opened offer page does not state its included quantities.
