AWS S3
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is object storage with a simple web service interface to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the web. It is designed to deliver 99.999999999% durability, and scale past trillions of objects worldwide.
Customers use S3 as a bulk repository, or "data lake," for analytics; backup & recovery; disaster recovery; and serverless computing. Many cloud-native applications even use S3 as primary storage.
It's simple to move large volumes of data into or out of S3 with Amazon's cloud data migration options. Once data is stored in Amazon S3, it can be automatically tiered into lower cost, longer-term cloud storage classes like S3 Standard - Infrequent Access and Amazon Glacier for archiving.
