  • A bucket is an S3 storage area assigned using a unique key. You can use buckets to make data public or private, and authenticate user access to your data. Currently, you can also requisition buckets in North America and Europe. Data in these buckets are stored in those geographic locations, but can be accessed from anywhere based on the authentication credentials that you specify.

  • Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is the distributed storage component of the AWS platform. It can read, write, and delete objects representing data ranging from 1 byte to 5 gigabytes. You can use S3 to store, replicate, and persist an unlimited amount of objects in the cloud. However, you should not think of S3 as a local disk and attempt to run your database from S3. S3 simply stores "objects" or files, in "buckets" (folders). Since there are no directories in S3, each bucket is given a unique identifier. You can also have multiple buckets under one account. Many customers serve static files such as images or video directly from S3 instead of having them stored on a local disk. This gives them virtually infinite storage capacity for their files without purchasing any hardware. For more information visit: http://aws.amazon.com/s3.
