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

**AWS CloudWatch** is the resource monitoring service that allows monitoring by collecting logs, metrics, and events.

However, we can do a lot more than just monitoring with CloudWatch. We can configure alerts based on a specific metric and perform automated tasks. Moreover, it always helps in troubleshooting issues related to any AWS service.

## Storage metrics

Using storage metrics, we can monitor the **“Total number of objects”** and the **“Total bucket size.”** These metrics are enabled by default and can be viewed directly on the AWS S3 console as well.

1. Go to S3 and choose the bucket.
2. Navigate to the “Metrics” tab. We’ll find the bucket’s storage metrics and graphs.
