Amazon Simple Storage Service Object Icon

Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) objects are digital files stored in S3 buckets. They're the fundamental building blocks for storing virtually any kind of data—images, videos, code, backups, or other data sets—making them highly versatile for various applications like websites, mobile apps, and big data analytics. You interact with these objects using the AWS Management Console, command-line tools, or APIs, uploading, downloading, and managing them as needed. S3 handles the underlying infrastructure management, ensuring data durability, availability, and scalability.
