-
Simple Storage Service (or S3) is a data storage solution provided by Amazon.
** S3 services are divided into tiers based upon access frequency needs and pricing.
-
Data is stored as individual, uniquely-keyed objects (files and file metadata, like modification date) within a container (a bucket) with a user-specified name and based in a particular region. S3 supports versioning of data objects.
-
Bucket Policies, along with Access Control Lists (ACLs) allow for access permissions to be defined for objects or collections of objects based on set rules (written in/around JSON).

(Note to self-- revisit section on S3 data consistency model for AWS's handling of requests to same buckets from multiple threads)
