Working with Objects

Objects are the data that you store in Amazon S3. Every object resides within a bucket. Before you can upload an object into Amazon S3, you must have write permissions to a bucket.

Objects can be any file type: images_backup, data, movies, etc. An object can be as large as 5 TB. You can have an unlimited number of objects in a bucket.

This section explains how to use the console to create, manage, and delete objects.
