✅Today I explored Amazon S3, Identity and Access Management (IAM), and the powerful AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). These essential services unlocked new levels of data storage, security, and automation, solidifying my understanding of cloud infrastructure.
1). Building a Home for Your Data:-
- I learned how to create S3 buckets, the fundamental containers for storing data of any size and type. I explored bucket configurations like region, storage class, and versioning, customizing them for optimal performance and cost-efficiency.
- Managing buckets involved defining access controls, setting lifecycle policies for automatic data management, and exploring transfer options like multipart uploads for large files.
2). Securing Your Data :-
- Exploring Bucket Policies and Encryption as Security is crucial. I learned how to craft granular access controls using IAM roles and policies, ensuring only authorized users access specific data within the bucket. Encryption options like AES-256 and server-side encryption added another layer of protection, safeguarding sensitive information against unauthorized access.
3). The Power of Identity: Understanding IAM Users, Roles, and Policies
IAM. I explored the concept of IAM users and roles, granting them access to specific AWS resources based on defined permissions. Group policies further streamlined access control, enabling efficient management of user privileges. Understanding IAM policies, with their intricate syntax and conditionals, empowered me to grant and restrict access with precision, ensuring secure and compliant operations.
4). AWS CLI -
- The AWS CLI emerged as a powerful tool for interacting with S3 from the command line. I learned how to navigate the CLI structure, issue commands for creating, listing, and managing buckets and objects. Copying, syncing, and downloading data to and from S3 became effortless with commands like (aws s3 cp), (aws s3 sync), and (aws s3api download-object). The CLI proved its worth for automating tasks, scripting workflows, and managing S3 resources efficiently.
