# s3vectors ## Description Amazon S3 vector buckets are a bucket type to store and search vectors with sub-second search times. They are designed to provide dedicated API operations for you to interact with vectors to do similarity search. Within a vector bucket, you use a vector index to organize and logically group your vector data. When you make a write or read request, you direct it to a single vector index. You store your vector data as vectors. A vector contains a key (a name that you assign), a multi-dimensional vector, and, optionally, metadata that describes a vector. The key uniquely identifies the vector in a vector index. ## Available Commands * [create-index](create-index.md) * [create-vector-bucket](create-vector-bucket.md) * [delete-index](delete-index.md) * [delete-vector-bucket](delete-vector-bucket.md) * [delete-vector-bucket-policy](delete-vector-bucket-policy.md) * [delete-vectors](delete-vectors.md) * [get-index](get-index.md) * [get-vector-bucket](get-vector-bucket.md) * [get-vector-bucket-policy](get-vector-bucket-policy.md) * [get-vectors](get-vectors.md) * [list-indexes](list-indexes.md) * [list-tags-for-resource](list-tags-for-resource.md) * [list-vector-buckets](list-vector-buckets.md) * [list-vectors](list-vectors.md) * [put-vector-bucket-default-index-mode](put-vector-bucket-default-index-mode.md) * [put-vector-bucket-policy](put-vector-bucket-policy.md) * [put-vectors](put-vectors.md) * [query-vectors](query-vectors.md) * [tag-resource](tag-resource.md) * [untag-resource](untag-resource.md) * [update-index-mode](update-index-mode.md)
