How To Create an Amazon Cloud S3 Bucket? And URLs to access a bucket.


Introduction

To upload data to Amazon S3, you must create a bucket in one of the AWS Regions to store data. After you can upload an unlimited number of data objects in the bucket.

To create an S3 bucket

Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at 

Choose Create bucket.



Name and region page, enter the name of the bucket, and then select the AWS Region to place the bucket. Please complete the following fields of this page.

In Bucket Name, type the DNS-compliant name for the new bucket. Please follow the naming guidelines below.

.  Bucket names must be unique across all existing bucket names in Amazon S3.
. The name must start with a lowercase letter or number.
.  The name must not contain uppercase characters.
. The name must be between 3 and 63 characters long.

Once you've created a bucket, make a wise choice because you can not change its name.

URL pointing to an object placed in the bucket to bucket names are displayed, select a bucket name that reflects the objects in the bucket.

For Region, select the AWS Region in which to store the bucket. Select the nearest region to minimize the waiting time and money to resolve, or regulatory requirements. The object stored in a particular area does not leave the local unless explicitly transferred to other regions. Please refer to the Amazon S3 AWS Regions List of Regions and Endpoints Amazon Web Services General Reference.

URLs to access a bucket.

Amazon S3 supports both virtual-hosted–style and path-style URLs to access a bucket.

In a virtual-hosted–style URL, the bucket name is part of the domain name in the URL.

For example:  
http://bucket.s3.amazonaws.com

http://bucket.s3-aws-region.amazonaws.com.

In a virtual-hosted–style URL, you can use either of
these endpoints. If you make a request to the
http://bucket.s3.amazonaws.com endpoint, the DNS
has sufficient information to route your request directly
to the Region where your bucket resides.

In a path-style URL, the bucket name is not part of the domain (unless you use a Region-specific endpoint).

For example:
US East (N. Virginia) Region endpoint, 
http://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket

Region-specific endpoint, 
http://s3-aws-region.amazonaws.com/bucket

In a path-style URL, the endpoint you use must match
the Region in which the bucket resides. For example, if
your bucket is in the South America (São Paulo) Region,
you must use the
http://s3-sa-east-1.amazonaws.com/bucket endpoint.
If your bucket is in the US East (N. Virginia) Region, you
must use the
http://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket endpoint.

Apt-fast for Increasing Download Speed while Installing and Updating Packages Ubuntu/Debian [Beginners Guide]

Have you ever experienced slow download speed when downloading or updating packages in Ubuntu even when your network connection is running fine? You encounter this issue especially when updating and installing packages for the first time after installing a new Ubuntu/Debian OS. However, there is a way to get around this by speeding up the download speed using apt-fast command in Linux. Apt-fast is a shell script wrapper for “apt-get” and “aptitude” that uses the power of either  axel  or  aria 2  download managers to accelerate the download process. It improves download performance by downloading packages simultaneously in parallel with multiple packages per connection. In this article, we will walk through some steps to install apt-fast in order to accelerate the update and downloading process in Ubuntu. We will use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for describing the procedure mentioned in this article.   Step 1: Installing prerequisites We need to install...

What is a CDN ? How Does a content delivery network Work?

I ntroduction. Latest Web sites and applications often need to provide   amount of static content to end users. This content includes images, style sheets, JavaScript, and video. The increase in the number of static assets and the increase grows the bandwidth usage increases page load time decreased, depending on the size of the user's search experience, and reduce the usable capacity of the server. Dramatically improving performance, reducing the page load time   reduce the bandwidth and infrastructure costs, you can implement a content delivery network,  And  CDN cache these assets at a set of servers that are geographically distributed. What is a CDN? Content delivery network is a group of servers distributed geographically optimized to provide static content to end users. While this static content can be almost any type of data, CDNs are most commonly used to deliver web pages and related files, streaming video and audio, and large softwar...

Why AWS (amazon cloud) is better for Cloud Servers?

The Amazon Web Services provides remote computing services. Most important and well-known service is the Amazon S3 and Amazon EC2. I have compiled some of the reasons for the AWS choice as Cloud Server, for big and small users.   Pricing Model : Pay-As-You-Go. I am only pay for that what I use. Let’s take an example to understand this: In AWS infrastructure I am using 13GB, now usually what happens with other cloud service I estimate my usage say 40GB, reserve it, and pay for that 40GB monthly. And with AWS, I am not using the whole 40GB. I just have 13GB of data, so I just pay for that 13GB, and I can always store more as your requirements grow, there is no restriction!     Security. Cloud security at AWS is the highest priority Amazon cloud is a secure, durable technology platform with industry-recognized certifications and audits: PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001, FISMA Moderate, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and SOC 1 (formerly referred to as SAS 7...
