Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the leading provider of cloud computing services and hosting solutions. Among the vast number of services offered by AWS, the Simple Storage Service (S3) is one of the mostly widely used. This storage service offers high reliability, durability, scalability, and availability when compared to any other storage service.

In this course, you’ll learn about AWS S3 and its features in detail. Not only will you learn how AWS S3 works, you’ll also get hands-on experience with AWS’ security features and how to monitor and manage an AWS-hosted storage solution. By the end of this course, you will be able to use the console and command-line interface (CLI) to perform complex operations and host a static website using S3.

A Programmer’s Guide to AWS S3

Before getting started with some hands-on learning with S3, there are some prerequisites to follow so you can also practice at your end.

**Prerequisite steps:**

1. [Create an AWS account](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/create-and-activate-aws-account/).
2. [Create an IAM User](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_create.html) (we don't want to use the root account for working on AWS).
3. Enable Multifactor Authentication for the IAM user account and the root account.
4. Create a billing alert on the AWS console.
5. Sign out and sign in using the IAM user account.
 
>**Note**: All the steps mentioned are optional but highly recommended while working with AWS.
