S3 storage
Store files and objects in S3.
📖 Key ideas
- S3 stores objects (files) in buckets.
- Bucket names are globally unique.
- Storage classes: Standard, Intelligent-Tiering, Glacier for archives.
- Block public access by default; use pre-signed URLs to share.
- Durability is 99.999999999% (11 nines).
💡 Real-life example: S3 is an endless locker room where every file gets its own locker and key.
