Today, you can choose between General Purpose (M6g and […]

Amazon S3 Glacier stores your data across three Availability Zones (AZs), each physically separated from […]
0 CommentsI wrote the blog post that announced Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) fifteen years ago today. In that post, I made it clear that the service was accessed via APIs and that it was targeted at developers, outlined a few key features, and shared pricing information. Developers found that post, started to write code to […]
