S3 for backups and web media storage

S3 at a glance. PROS and CONS.
- The data we store in AWS S3 is shared with lot of other AWS account users and the requester pays for the data transfer and we need not worry about the costs to move our data to other accounts.
- The data in AWS S3 acts as a centralized storage system where in most of our web, mobile and platform API's and applications access the same data without the need to replicate it and with very low latencies.
- Our algorithm models have been evolved and are at a better place now as the training models have been prepared on the data in S3.

The best image and file storage program
- Faster images loads
- Cheaper hosting
- We reduced the amount of money we were spending to store massive amounts of data in the cloud.
- We were able to digitize all of our paper documents and store them in the cloud which helped us gain some office space back.

S3 is trusted and reliable for cloud native applications
- Complex business storage requirements for our customers and applications have been addressed by S3.
- We are able to store vast amounts of sensor and video data, at a very low cost.
- We are able to provide fast access to data across the world, with the various regions S3 supports.
- S3 is one of the critical components of our service and helps our static files remain decoupled from our application files.
- Without the ease of use and configuration of S3, we might have either wound up with a much slower application or a much less friendly code deployment process.
- S3 has granted us the flexibility and customizability to easily pursue new and more robust applications without having to worry about file serving permissions.

Amazon S3 - The Best in Storage
- It is a very cheap way to store and access anything on the cloud which is a huge positive ROI for us.
- It has allowed us to backup our builds and database which has paid off in a huge positive way.
- The outage caused negative ROI because we lost a significant amount of sales and we had to devote engineering resources to putting out this fire as opposed to building new things.

Why I am so impressed with Amazon Web Services!
- Positive - no need to plan ahead with ever increasing storage space.
- Positive - off site data backup that can be used in a DR situation from any location
- Positive - Granting temporary access to other people is easy.

Does its job for the intended use case.
- Positive ROI - It's cheaper to store on S3 than any other cloud mechanism that's offered to us. S3's revenue model where they charge for what you use is also very lucrative because now you are not worried about buying the bulk of storage that you don't use.
- Another positive is it ties in with the Amazon ecosystem. So if you have rest of your services in AWS, then it makes complete sense to use S3 so that the network latency is greatly reduced.
- I haven't had a negative yet, so nothing to comment on that.

Amazon S3 for Backups
- It allows for us to only use what we need for a fair cost and not have to spend many productivity man-hours on maintenance and support. It also gives us peace of mind that our data is held offsite in a secure manner.
- Makes communication across development teams more uniform
- The cost savings of reducing dev ops budget and using a managed service like S3 are high
- S3 effectively auto scales to the size you need it to be and is priced accordingly

Free to be S3: Cost-Effective Site Hosting
- I've been hosting a blog on S3 for a while now and it has been a big factor in driving my branding initiative forward, as the S3 workflow made it possible to push through the daunting task of getting it launched.
- It's made me aware that there are indeed cost-effective ways to host your site online and as a web developer being able to offer options that don't require a flat monthly fee is an important part of being able to deliver value to my clients.

"Strong object-store database to help you store data at your desired scale with high security options"
- Data conversion cost - Cost involved by huge servers to handle the data conversion is totally waived off
- Fast and scalable, need not think of an alternative solution if you want to expand your business
- Security policies and server side encryption features.

The Name Says it all! Simple, simple simple.
- S3 + Lambda has made for extremely rapid development and deployment of features that would have otherwise taken much more architecture to complete and deliver.

S3 is a great, reliable place to keep your data if you are already using AWS, but don't fall down the rabbit hole of services.
- S3 has definitely simplified our work, and the amount of work required of us when deploying with AWS, by letting all important and irreplaceable data to be stored in one location and utilized by multiple services.
- The Snapshot service has turned data migration and maintenance from a stressful, time-consuming service similar to disarming a bomb, into a quick and carefree service, letting us roll back to a working version of data with a simple click of the mouse, and reverse human errors quickly, before any damages are accrued.
- The caching and CDN capabilities provided by integrating S3 with CloudFront is another, invaluable service that gives our server clusters another head up on the competition in terms of speed and access.

- it is very clean product and reliable

Simple, Reliable, Maintainable Storage - Amazon S3
- Total number on the bills was definitely dropped when we moved to use AWS stacks from our own server clusters.
- "Always online" (nearly 100%) means less frustration dealing with power outages in your server plants and less people out there doing maintenance.
- DevOps has less work managing the user permissions, doing data replications, etc.

Amazon S3 Review
- It has been positive. We can tier our storage solution to Amazon S3 but very few other competitors can say that. Our call to action is to help our customers fulfill any of their requirements and not just for the mighty dollar. It is always customers first.
