Publish flow logs to Amazon S3
Flow logs can publish flow log data to Amazon S3. Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a highly scalable and durable object storage service. It is designed to store and retrieve any amount of data, from anywhere on the web. S3 offers industry-leading durability and availability, with built-in features for data versioning, encryption, and access control.
When publishing to Amazon S3, flow log data is published to an existing Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. Flow log records for all of the monitored network interfaces are published to a series of log file objects that are stored in the bucket. If the flow log captures data for a VPC, the flow log publishes flow log records for all of the network interfaces in the selected VPC.
To create an Amazon S3 bucket for use with flow logs, see Create a bucket in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide.
