Amazon S3 Tips, Tricks, and Resources
Setting Up Smart S3 Bucket Policies
Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a powerful resource for applications that need storage on the internet. S3 is a scalable, reliable, and secure solution. The key to success is setting up smart S3 bucket policies that are beneficial to intended users but protected from prying eyes.
Amazon S3 Tagging Strategy
Tagging in Amazon S3 allows you to assign custom metadata tags to objects and buckets. Tags are lightweight metadata with minimal storage overhead that can be used to categorize, filter, and search S3 resources. Tagging is a best practice for S3 management at scale.
CloudSee Drive for Amazon S3 Launches in AWS Marketplace
Webapper Services LLC, a cloud solutions provider, announced the launch of CloudSee Drive for Amazon S3. Available through the AWS Marketplace, CloudSee Drive enables AWS administrators and users to upload, view, and manage files stored in the cloud using a web browser.
Amazon S3 Backup Strategy
Having a smart backup strategy for Amazon S3 is important. A common failure of backups is not having a clear understanding around the potential disasters you must defend against. From simple things like accidentally overwriting a file to losing your entire AWS account, you must ensure the integrity and availability of your data.
Amazon S3 Browsers
S3 buckets are a foundational element of AWS. Unfortunately, Amazon S3 can become a dumping ground for media and data. Managing files on S3 can become unwieldy from the AWS Console, and dealing with the many use cases poses security challenges. One of the areas that administrators struggle is simple file management, which has led to an 'aftermarket' of tools. One such segment is Amazon S3 browsers.
