Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) has set the bar for cloud storage with the S3 API rapidly becoming the de-facto standard for object storage platforms. Many vendors claim compatibility with S3, however with the depth of features the API offers, few actually provide the level of support many IT organisations need. In this primer webinar, we will provide an introduction to the S3 API and explain:

  • What S3 is and how it fits into the wider Amazon Web Services portfolio
  • What the S3 API is and how it is used to store/retrieve data from the public cloud
  • How developers and users can interact with S3
