Amazon S3 | Object storage with a simple web service | Amazon Web Services

Amazon S3 provides a highly durable and available store for a variety of content, ranging from web applications to media files. It allows you to offload your entire storage infrastructure onto the cloud, where you can take advantage of Amazon S3’s scalability and pay-as-you-go pricing to handle your growing storage needs. You can distribute your content directly from Amazon S3.

For sharing content that is either easily reproduced or where you’re storing an original copy elsewhere, Amazon S3’s Standard – Infrequent Access Storage (S-IA) feature provides a compelling solution. For example, if you’re storing media content in-house but you need to provide accessibility to your customers, channel partners, or employees, S-IA is a low-cost solution for storing and sharing this content.
