Document History
This document history is associated with the 2006-03-01 release of Amazon S3. This guide was last updated on March 23, 2013.
The following table describes the important changes since the last release of the Amazon Simple Storage Service Console User Guide.
| Change | Description | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Console support for enabling bucket versioning |
The Amazon S3 console now supports bucket versioning and managing objects in a versioning-enabled bucket. For more information see, Enabling Bucket Versioning, and Managing Objects in a Versioning-Enabled Bucket. | In this release. |
| Support for static website hosting at the root domain |
Amazon S3 now supports hosting static websites at the root domain. Visitors to your website can access your site from their browser without specifying "www" in the web address (e.g., "example.com"). Many customers already host static websites on Amazon S3 that are accessible via a "www" subdomain (e.g., "www.example.com"). Previously, to support root domain access, you needed to run your own web server to proxy root domain requests from browsers to your website on Amazon S3. Running a web server to proxy requests introduces additional costs, operational burden, and another potential point of failure. Now, you can take advantage of the high availability and durability of Amazon S3 for both "www" and root domain addresses. For an example walkthrough, go to go to Example: Setting Up a Static Website Using a Custom Domain. For conceputal information, go to Hosting Static Websites on Amazon S3 in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide. | 27 December 2012 |
| Console revision | Amazon S3 console has been updated. The documentation topics that refer to the console have been revised accordingly. | 14 December 2012 |
| Support for Archiving Data to Amazon Glacier | Amazon S3 now support a storage option that enables you to utilize Amazon Glacier's low-cost storage service for data archival. To archive objects, you define archival rules identifying objects and timeline when you want Amazon S3 to archive these objects to Amazon Glacier. You can easily set the rules on a bucket using the Amazon S3 console or programmatically using the Amazon S3 API or AWS SDKs. In addition to setting object expiration, you can now use lifecycle management to archive data in Amazon S3. For more information, see Managing Lifecycle Configuration. For conceptual information, go to Object Lifecycle Management in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide. | 13 November 2012 |
| Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) support | Amazon S3 now supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). CORS defines a way in which client web applications that are loaded in one domain can interact with or access resources in a different domain. With CORS support in Amazon S3, you can build rich client-side web applications on top of Amazon S3 and selectively allow cross-domain access to your Amazon S3 resources. For more information, see Enabling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing in the Amazon S3 Developer Guide. | 31 August 2012 |
| AWS Cost Allocation Tagging support | You can use AWS Cost Allocation to control how storage resources are organized on your bill. You do this by defining one or more tags for a bucket. For more information, go to Cost Allocation Tagging in the Amazon S3 Developer Guide. | 21 August 2012 |
| Object Expiration support | You can use Object Expiration to schedule automatic removal of data after a configured time period. You set object expiration by adding lifecycle configuration to a bucket. For more information, go to Object Expiration. | 27 December 2011 |
