Introduction

In this guide, we will explore AWS S3 Intelligent Tiering and understand how it works. Our goal is to help you gain a clear understanding of this technology and its many benefits.

AWS S3 Intelligent Tiering is a storage class within Amazon S3 that automatically optimizes costs by intelligently moving data between multiple access tiers based on its usage patterns. By utilizing machine learning algorithms, this service analyzes data access patterns and determines the most suitable storage tier for each object.

In the following sections, we will take a closer look at how AWS S3 Intelligent Tiering functions, including its data tiers and tiering decisions. We will also explore the significant benefits, such as automatic cost savings, improved performance, automatic optimization, and scalability.

Whether you are a small startup or a large enterprise, AWS S3 Intelligent Tiering provides a scalable and efficient solution for managing your data storage needs.

Introduction

AWS Boto3 is the Python SDK for AWS. Boto3 can be used to directly interact with AWS resources from Python scripts.

Boto3’s S3 API doesn’t have any method to download multiple files from an S3 bucket in parallel. You have the option of downloading one file at a time but that is time consuming.

In this tutorial, we will look at how we can download multiple files in parallel to speed up the process of downloading multiple files from S3.

Introduction

AWS’ s3api CLI can be used to filter objects in a S3 bucket based on the Last Modified Date using the --query filter.

In this article, we will look at how you can leverage this functionality to only return the objects that you need.

Introduction

AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) is one of the most widely used object storage solutions. With S3, you can store files, photos, videos, applications, websites, databases, backups, logs, and many other types of data online without worrying about performance issues, security breaches, or hardware failures.

Data encryption is a critical operation to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. Yet, implementing encryption is not an easy job. Fortunately, AWS server-side encryption (SSE) simplifies the whole encryption process, including storing and managing encryption keys and helps protect your data stored in AWS S3 buckets.

This article explains the concepts around S3 encryption, S3 server-side encryption, how SSE works, and different approaches for SSE.

With S3, you can store files, photos, videos, applications, websites, databases, backups, logs, and many other types of data online without worrying about performance issues, security breaches, or hardware failures.

Although Amazon S3 is highly reliable, by default, it does not protect against accidental data loss or malicious destruction caused by authorized users. To protect yourself from these scenarios, you must leverage advanced S3 features like Object Versioning and Delete Markers.
