ioTips: S3 Best Practices - Top 100 Recommendations for Optimal Performance, Security, and Cost Optimization - Part-1

Welcome to the second edition of our newsletter on AWS Services Best Practices, focusing on Amazon S3. We provide tips on data management, security, performance, governance, and compliance for a secure, optimized, and cost-efficient S3 experience. This edition covers security, architecture, performance, and cost-optimization tips.

Security

  1. Use Server-Side Encryption (SSE) or client-side encryption for data protection.

  2. Implement AWS KMS with SSE-KMS for key management.

  3. Create fine-grained IAM policies for S3 access control and enable S3 Block Public Access.

  4. Regularly review S3 access logs and activate MFA delete for enhanced protection.

Performance

  1. Use S3 multipart uploads and Byte-Range Fetches for efficient data handling.

  2. Optimize request rate with prefix partitioning in S3 and AWS Transfer Family for high-speed data transfer.

  3. Leverage AWS Direct Connect for dedicated network connections and S3 Select for optimized query performance.

  4. Use Amazon CloudFront with S3 for global content distribution with reduced latency.

Cost Optimization

  1. Use S3 storage classes and Lifecycle policies for cost-efficient storage.

  2. Implement S3 Object Tagging for cost tracking and AWS Cost Explorer for storage cost analysis.

  3. Delete unused objects and use S3 Storage Lens for storage cost visualization.

  4. Enable S3 Intelligent Tiering for automated cost optimization.

Architecture

  1. Implement scalable S3 bucket naming conventions and Cross-Region Replication for high availability.

  2. Use S3 Glacier for low-cost archival storage and S3 Select for optimized query performance.

  3. Employ S3 Access Points for easier data management and S3 Replication Time Control for predictable replication times.

  4. Leverage AWS Snow Family for large-scale data transfer and Amazon FSx with S3 for compute-intensive workloads.
