If you\u2019re looking for older services at AWS, there really aren\u2019t any. For example, Simple Storage Service (S3) has been with us since the beginning. It was the first publicly launched service that was quickly followed by Simple Queue Service (SQS). Still today, when it comes to these services, simplicity is key!\nToday, we\u2019re talking to Mai-Lan Tomsen Bukovec, vice president of S3 at AWS. Many people use S3 the same way that they have for years, such as for backups in the Cloud. However, others have taken S3 and ran with it to find a myriad of different use cases.\nSome of the highlights of the show include:\n\nData: Where do I put it? What do I do with it?\nS3 Select and Cross-Region Replication (CRR) make it easier and cheaper to use and manage data \nCustomer feedback drives AWS S3 price options and tiers\nUsing Glacier and S3 together for archive data storage; decisions and constraints that affect people\u2019s use and storage of data\nFeature requests should meet customers where they are, rather than having to invest in time and training\nDifferent design patterns and best practices to use when building applications\nBatch operations make it easier for customers to manage objects stored in S3\nAWS considers compliance and retention when building features\nMentorship: Don\u2019t be afraid of the bold ask\n\nLinks:\n\nre:Invent\nAWS S3\nAmazon SQS\nAWS Glacier\nLambda\nCHAOSSEARCH
