Amazon S3

S3 is used by us for offsite backup storage and also hosts some media files for a web application. S3 is very cheap storage and solves the issue of storage, it has a great API which has made automating offsite backups easy, it also has granular access control over files which has assisted in providing a backup service for my customers.

We use amazon S3 to store all of our data collected from many mobile applications. All of Big Data related workloads consumes run on the data stored in S3.It's cheaper and reliable to store petabyte scale data.

I use Amazon S3 to host email images and other web images used on multiple websites. It is used widely by the marketing, tech, and even the customer service department. It created a great alternative for where we store files.

We are using Amazon S3 as an online repository for online backups. This addresses the needs of having data stored offsite with multiple layers of redundancy.

We use S3 for all distributed file storage for all of our web applications. We run entirely on the cloud, in AWS, and S3 is the only way we offload data, so that it isn't stored on EC2 machines. This allows us to be able to persist data, and recover data in the event a server terminates (very likely in a cloud only environment). In addition to application data, all of our customer data is serialized and stored in S3 in addition to our databases for further post ad-hoc analysis. S3 allows us to have a virtual SAN without any complications.

Amazon S3 is one of the primary Amazon Web Services that we use to power our website, including the web application that employees use for our core business functions. We utilize S3 to automatically store all claim documentation and legal agreements uploaded or generated through our web app. S3 is also automatically used by Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk to store zipped packages of previous versions of our application, in case we require a rollback. Finally, S3 is where we store all of our static and media files, e.g. JavaScript, CSS, and images. Our EB application serves these files from S3 rather than from its local machine.

It is our central data store for resources. Aside from one outage, it has been incredibly beneficial to use. Its persistent storage is always available and delivers our assets quickly. I'm am such a big fan that I have adopted it for all my personal projects as well. Amazon Simple Storage Service is used across all departments both engineering and non-engineering.

We are using Amazon S3 for multiple clients and our own purposes. S3 is a simple to use Cloud based storage product that is a secure, scale-able low cost approach for any organization that needs to have off site storage for the purposes of backup or retention, document storage and archiving. Good versioning control, secure access and an almost infinite ability to increase your storage effortlessly as your organization's needs grow. Amazon has a very easy to use interface and for users that are not very technically minded there are third party tools out there like Filezilla and S3 Fox that enable the upload and download of files in easy to use folders that anyone can feel comfortable with. Amazon S3 is also a very robust and safe storage of your files and documents as it has 99.999999999 %. Availability and your data is spread over multiple zones so that there is an as close to zero chance of data loss as is possible. I would thoroughly and unequivocally recommend Amazon S3 storage to businesses in any environment.

We use S3 for storage of deployment release backups, database backups, storing internal tech talk videos, as internal CDN (Content Delivery Network), and storing large documents internally. The primary business problem is [that it's] a cheap storage mechanism with unlimited storage that would be billed based on what we use. Cheap and scalability are the two primary business needs that S3 offers over other systems.

We use Amazon S3 to store our Office365 Backups from AvePointe, We have a S3 Bucket Provisioned and replicated to a different region. We also use the S3 infrastructure in conjunction with the Amazon Storage Gateway Product which Stores our Microsoft Exchange On-Prem Legal Hold backups. This is what we are using for our storage platform for the entire enterprise for Backups. This has simplified our solution for LongTerm Off-Premise Backups.

We use amazon s3 to persist all of our internal and client data in the cloud. It is a fantastic choice when your infrastructure is also hosted within the AWS ecosystem, as all of their technologies interoperate very nicely with the S3 storage service. It sort of eliminates the need for traditional dev ops.

I use Amazon S3 to host websites for myself and clients I build them for. I've used other web hosting services but have found S3 to offer the best combination of ease of use, cost controls, and reliability. S3 buckets have been a lifesaver for me in allowing me to manage multiple sites in the easiest manner available while keeping my site hosting expenses to a minimum.

Wow, S3 is an Amazon object store product. However big the file size, whatever format the file is, we don't need to worry, just store the data and retrieve it whenever needed. Similar to other AWS Services, using AWS SDK, you can access S3 at a much faster and easier way, and don't really need to worry about writing REST API. I feel it handles our major business issue of storing data in one format and converting it to another, which is expensive and also time consuming, S3 is a wonderful solution for all these problems.

S3 is an immensely valuable storage solution.
We use it for:

• Managing Remote State for Terraform Infrastructure-as-code
• storing and restoring-from backups
• managing lifecycles of backups
• Providing state and storage for lambda functions
• Image repositories
• new uploads to S3 bucket automatically trigger lambda functions to resize

We utilize Amazon web services as one of several preferred cloud providers, which we use to host WordPress sites after we have completed the design, giving the client a private, managed server cluster within the same price range of a basic WordPress host. We specifically use S3 as the primary storage location of all site content, and as a cache/cdn service. This lets us use the EC2 storage for storing only server related files, which reduces storage costs and potential data loss, as we can quickly rebuild our servers, while not having to worry about the safety and integrity of the sites content. We essentially use S3 in the same way one would use a NAS or SAN on a web hosting network, which is a fairly accurate comparison due to the integration and partnership that Amazon has with EMC, giving S3 similar functionality as a physical EMC SAN.

it is used for backups of all our files. We use S3 and glacier and encryption.

My current company is still in the process of moving to the AWS stack, but my previous company already had a successful story using Amazon tools, including S3. It was used across the whole organization. Server logs and data from the MySQL database were replicated to S3, and from there, the data got processed by Mapreduce programs running on EMR, and eventually get stored in RedShift or Elasticsearch. S3 is also used as a fast and neat backup storage for RedShift and Elasticsearch.

Amazon S3 is used as an archiving solution and for object storage. Additionally, our corporate storage solution also allows us to automatically tier any longer term archive requirements to an Amazon public cloud should our clients have that requirement. This provides a unique and robust solution that can meet our customers' needs.
