Amazon Simple Storage Service S3 Tables Icon

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a scalable and secure cloud storage service that offers a variety of storage classes to meet different needs. It's primarily used for storing and retrieving any amount of data of any type, making it ideal for backups and archiving, websites, big data analytics, and applications needing flexible, cost-effective storage. While it's often associated with object storage, it does *not* have a dedicated 'tables' service; managing structured data within S3 usually involves using other AWS services or formats, such as Amazon S3 Glacier, Amazon Athena or using a database that integrates with S3.
