S3: Object Storage Explained
S3 uses a concept called object storage. Unlike traditional file systems that organize data in a hierarchical folder structure, object storage treats all data as 'objects'.

- It offers virtually unlimited storage capacity.
- You access objects via HTTP/S, making it easy to integrate with web applications.
