PushFYI helps their clients to save their data on AWS S3 in the safest way. Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a cloud computing web service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS).It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers. Amazon S3 server-side encryption uses one of the strongest block ciphers available, 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), to encrypt your data. Amazon S3 supports bucket policies that you can use if you require server-side encryption for all objects that are stored in your bucket. A bucket is a logical unit of storage in Amazon Web Services (AWS) object storage service, Simple Storage Solution S3. Buckets are used to store objects, which consist of data and metadata that describes the data.
There are three tiers of S3 Storage available:
S3 Standard: Durable, immediately available suitable for frequently accessed data. By default, data stored in S3 is written across multiple devices in multiple locations providing resiliency. (SLA: 99.99% availability & 99.99999999999% durability).
S3 IA (Infrequently Accessed): This is the same service as S3 although available at a lower cost. S3 IA users pay a retrieval fee meaning it is only a cost effective storage option for data that isn’t frequently accessed.
Reduced Redundancy Storage: A lower cost storage solution with reduced SLAs (SLA: 99.99% availability & durability).
