Overall Satisfaction with Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)

We use s3 buckets for having terraform state file management, keeping cloudwatch log group logs, keeping website static content, keeping cost optimization reports. The s3 bucket are helpful because it can hold any type of object and which can be automatically deleted whenever it is not required using the lifecycle management.

Pros

  • Keeping cloudwatch logs
  • Keeping pipeline artifacts
  • Keeping infra as code state files
  • Keeping any type of object like txt, media, logs

Cons

  • Searching for a object within the multiple buckets can be improved
  • An s3 explorer can be handy to navigate the buckets and objects
  • S3 helped in keeping backup of the platform to be used in case of disaster recovery
  • For keeping some static content for web hosting
Easy to use,objects can be easily uploaded and downloaded. The lifecycle management is a game changer for cleaning outdated objects. The restrictions through acl and bucket policy also is quite easy.

The way to provide restrictions which can be provided on the folders inside the buckets can be improved. An s3 explorer can be useful if have multiple buckets with multiple objects
S3 is excellent but has a different use case than ebs. As ebs can be used as a filesystem, s3 bucket stores objects
