Secure, Cost-Effective, and Versatile Storage Solution

I like that Amazon S3 Glacier provides cloud storage for files like images, PDFs, and videos, offering a URL for easy access. We can sign the URL to ensure that only authenticated users can access the media, adding a layer of security with options for both private or public access and setting policies for bucket permissions, which is very good. The charges are very low, and we can access stored files anytime, anywhere. It's very easy to interface with S3 through the AWS SDK for setting up folders and storing media, and I can use command line access if the credentials are in place. I find the security features, like the ability to have private URLs and set bucket policies, as well as the folder organization for different media categories, beneficial. The ability to use CLI to access and manage media, and even integrate with tools like VS Code for creating folders and storing media through code, is something I enjoy. Overall, the initial setup of Amazon S3 Glacier is easy.

Best managed cloud Data lake service

AWS Lake Formation provides a hassle-free data lake service, which helps users to keep all types of data in one data lake in an original or prepared-for-analysis format. This reduces planning time development time and lets users quickly perform ad-hoc reporting.

Scalable Power, but Steep Learning Curve

I like Amazon EC2 because I can access it using my CMD without having to log in to AWS, and I appreciate that I can extend our server as the user base grows. I find it valuable that I can attach more volume storage to our server and enjoy the ability to customize according to my conditions. I also appreciate the scalability, being able to extend as needed and add more security using other AWS other services like security group.
