About

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service that offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance.

It supports multiple storage classes, including Standard, Infrequent Access, and Glacier tiers, strong read-after-write consistency, automatic encryption, fine-grained access controls, versioning, cross-region replication, and storage class analysis.

Due to its widespread use, the Amazon S3 API has become the de facto standard for cloud storage compatibility.

Hetzner Object Storage is an S3-compatible object storage service from the German cloud hosting provider Hetzner.
