When it comes to inexpensive object storage in AWS, the Simple Storage Service (S3) is the way to go. It’s scalable, reliable, and can be accessed from anywhere.
In this video, I’ll provide a short overview of S3, its benefits, and why you would use it. Then in a hands-on tutorial, I’ll walk through how to create an S3 bucket, create folders, and then upload a video to the bucket. Finally, I’ll show you how to delete a bucket and its contents.
