# Amazon S3 Skill · Cloud Computing and DevOps Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/amazon-s3 Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is AWS's foundational object storage service, offering scalable, durable, and highly available storage for virtually any amount of data. It's used by developers and businesses worldwide to store backups, host static websites, serve as a data lake for analytics, and store media files, with data organized into buckets and objects accessed via APIs. S3 offers various storage classes (like Standard, Glacier) to balance cost and retrieval speed based on access patterns. ## Amazon S3 in the job market - Open roles: 51 - Employers hiring: 43 - Median stated pay: $205,000 (middle half $174,000 – $240,000), from 39 of 51 open roles — the 76% that publish a range, annualized to USD.
