A number of bucket types exist, used for a variety of purposes. Though most of these are functional purposes, a number, including those constructed from precious metals, are used for ceremonial purposes. Common types of bucket and their adjoining purposes include:
Though not always bucket shaped, lunch boxes are sometimes known as lunch pails or a lunch bucket. Buckets can be repurposed as seats, tool caddies, hydroponic gardens, chamber pots, "street" drums, or livestock feeders, amongst other uses. Buckets are also repurposed for the use of long term food storage by survivalists.[3]
When in reference to a shipping container, the term "pail" is used as a technical term, specifically referring to a bucket shaped package with a sealed top or lid, which is then used as a transport container for chemicals and industrial products.[4]
A bucket is a container for objects stored in Amazon S3. You can store any number ofobjects in a bucket and can have up to 100 buckets in your account. To request anincrease, visit the Service Quotasconsole.
Every object is contained in a bucket. For example, if the object namedphotos/puppy.jpg is stored in theDOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET bucket in the US West (Oregon)Region, then it is addressable by using the URL -EXAMPLE-BUCKET.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/photos/puppy.jpg.For more information, see Accessing aBucket.
In terms of implementation, buckets and objects are AWS resources, and Amazon S3 provides APIsfor you to manage them. For example, you can create a bucket and upload objects using theAmazon S3 API. You can also use the Amazon S3 console to perform these operations. The console usesthe Amazon S3 APIs to send requests to Amazon S3.
Amazon S3 supports global buckets, which means that each bucket name must be unique across all AWS accounts in all the AWS Regions within a partition. A partition is a grouping of Regions. AWS currently has three partitions: aws (Standard Regions), aws-cn (China Regions), and aws-us-gov (AWS GovCloud (US)).
After a bucket is created, the name of that bucket cannot be used by another AWS account inthe same partition until the bucket is deleted. You should not depend on specific bucketnaming conventions for availability or security verification purposes. For bucket namingguidelines, see Bucket naming rules.
Amazon S3 creates buckets in a Region that you specify. To reduce latency, minimize costs, oraddress regulatory requirements, choose any AWS Region that is geographically close toyou. For example, if you reside in Europe, you might find it advantageous to create bucketsin the Europe (Ireland) or Europe (Frankfurt) Regions. For a list of Amazon S3 Regions, seeRegions andEndpoints in the AWS General Reference.
Objects that belong to a bucket that you create in a specific AWS Region never leavethat Region, unless you explicitly transfer them to another Region. For example, objectsthat are stored in the Europe (Ireland) Region never leave it.
You can use your AWS account root user credentials to create a bucket and perform anyother Amazon S3 operation. However, we recommend that you do not use the root usercredentials of your AWS account to make requests, such as to create a bucket. Instead,create an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user, and grant that user full access (users by default haveno permissions).
These users are referred to as administrators. Youcan use the administrator user credentials, instead of the root user credentials of youraccount, to interact with AWS and perform tasks, such as create a bucket, create users,and grant them permissions.
The AWS account that creates a resource owns that resource. For example, if you createan IAM user in your AWS account and grant the user permission to create a bucket, theuser can create a bucket. But the user does not own the bucket; the AWS account that theuser belongs to owns the bucket. The user needs additional permission from the resourceowner to perform any other bucket operations. For more information about managingpermissions for your Amazon S3 resources, see Identity and access management in Amazon S3.
Public access is granted to buckets and objects through bucket policies, access controllists (ACLs), or both. To help you manage public access to Amazon S3 resources, Amazon S3 providessettings to block public access. Amazon S3 Block Public Access settings can override ACLs andbucket policies so that you can enforce uniform limits on public access to theseresources. You can apply Block Public Access settings to individual buckets or to allbuckets in your account.
To ensure that all of your Amazon S3 buckets and objects have their public access blocked, allfour settings for Block Public Access are enabled by default when you create a newbucket. We recommend that you turn on all four settings for Block Public Access for youraccount too. These settings block all public access for all current and futurebuckets.
If you see an Error when you list your buckets and their public accesssettings, you might not have the required permissions. Make sure that you have thefollowing permissions added to your user or role policy:
Amazon S3 supports various options for you to configure your bucket. For example, you canconfigure your bucket for website hosting, add a configuration to manage the lifecycleof objects in the bucket, and configure the bucket to log all access to the bucket. Amazon S3supports subresources for you to store and manage the bucket configuration information.You can use the Amazon S3 API to create and manage these subresources. However, you can alsouse the console or the AWS SDKs.
You can define lifecycle rules for objects in your bucket thathave a well-defined lifecycle. For example, you can define a rule toarchive objects one year after creation, or delete an object 10years after creation.
When you create a bucket, you specify the AWS Region where youwant Amazon S3 to create the bucket. Amazon S3 stores this information in thelocation subresource and provides an API for you to retrieve thisinformation.
Logging enables you to track requests for access to your bucket.Each access log record provides details about a single accessrequest, such as the requester, bucket name, request time, requestaction, response status, and error code, if any. Access loginformation can be useful in security and access audits. It can alsohelp you learn about your customer base and understand your Amazon S3bill.
All your resources (such as buckets and objects) are private bydefault. Amazon S3 supports both bucket policy and access control list(ACL) options for you to grant and manage bucket-level permissions.Amazon S3 stores the permission information in thepolicy and aclsubresources.
By default, the AWS account that creates the bucket (the bucketowner) pays for downloads from the bucket. Using this subresource,the bucket owner can specify that the person requesting the downloadwill be charged for the download. Amazon S3 provides an API for you tomanage this subresource.
You can add cost allocation tags to your bucket to categorize andtrack your AWS costs. Amazon S3 provides the taggingsubresource to store and manage tags on a bucket. Using tags youapply to your bucket, AWS generates a cost allocation report withusage and costs aggregated by your tags.
Transfer Acceleration enables fast, easy, and secure transfers of filesover long distances between your client and an S3 bucket.Transfer Acceleration takes advantage of the globally distributed edgelocations of Amazon CloudFront.
Cloud Storage is a service for storing your objects inGoogle Cloud. An object is an immutable piece of data consisting of a file ofany format. You store objects in containers called buckets. Buckets canalso contain managed folders, which you use to provide expanded accessto groups of objects with a shared name prefix.
All buckets are associated with a project, and you can group yourprojects under an organization. Each project, bucket, managed folder,and object in Google Cloud is a resource in Google Cloud, as are things suchas Compute Engine instances.
After you create a project, you can create Cloud Storage buckets,upload objects to your buckets, and download objects from yourbuckets. You can also grant permissions to make your data accessible toprincipals you specify, or - for certain use cases such as hosting a website -accessible to everyone on the public internet.
Bucket: Each project can contain multiple buckets, which are containers tostore your objects. For example, you might create a photos bucket for all theimage files your app generates and a separate videos bucket.
Managed folder: Each bucket can also contain multiple managed folders,which grant additional access beyond the access granted to the overall bucket.This additional access applies to objects that have a prefix matching themanaged folder name. For example, you might create an animals/ managed folder,which gives designated users additional access to objects such asanimals/puppy.png and animals/kitten.png.
Cloud Storage FUSE: Cloud Storage FUSE lets you mount Cloud Storagebuckets to your local file system. This enables your applications to read froma bucket or write to a bucket by using standard file system semantics.
Identity and Access Management: Use IAM to control who has access to theresources in your Google Cloud project. Resources include Cloud Storagebuckets and objects, as well as other Google Cloud entities such asCompute Engine instances. You can grant principals certain types of accessto buckets and objects, such as update, create, or delete.
You can get started with Hosting a static website to learn how to uploadand share your site's files through a Cloud Storage bucket. To learnhow to use Cloud Storage with other Google Cloud services,covering a variety of topics including Big Data, web development, machinelearning, and containers, see Google Cloud tutorials usingCloud Storage.
Each resource has a unique name that identifies it, much like a filename.Buckets have a resource name in the form ofprojects/_/buckets/BUCKET_NAME, whereBUCKET_NAME is the ID of the bucket. Objects have aresource name in the form ofprojects/_/buckets/BUCKET_NAME/objects/OBJECT_NAME,where OBJECT_NAME is the ID of the object.
