The internet has served as an important part in people’s lives nowadays. A lot of people rely on it for personal and business reasons. One crucial role of the internet is its storage options. That is why having an email account is a necessity today. One can utilize his email, like Yahoo!mail or Gmail, to store important documents and transactions, without the threat of losing vital information. Another service that is being maximized is the Youtube, where individuals can upload, store and even share their videos.

But Amazon took a step further to help people around the world safely keep and store their files. They introduced the Amazon Simple Storage Service or simply Amazon S3. This application serves as a storage and retrieval facility, all in one. It lets the user have a dependable and safe storage that they can quickly access anytime, any place.
