When working with Amazon S3, the following are the best practices:

📌 Bucket Naming:

  • Choose a unique, DNS-compliant name.
  • Avoid using IP addresses or uppercase characters.

📌 Access Control:

  • Apply the principle of least privilege with IAM.
  • Minimize public access.

📌 Encryption:

  • Use Server-Side Encryption (SSE) for data at rest.
  • Employ SSL/TLS for data in transit.

📌 Logging and Monitoring:

  • Enable access logging and CloudWatch Metrics.
  • Implement CloudTrail for API call logging.

📌 Versioning and Lifecycle:

  • Enable versioning and manage object versions.
  • Implement lifecycle policies for automatic data transitions.

📌 Cross-Region Replication (CRR):

  • Enable CRR for redundancy and disaster recovery.
  • Use AWS KMS for cross-region replication keys.

📌 MFA Delete:

  • Enable MFA to require authentication for object deletion.

📌 Data Transfer Acceleration:

  • Use S3 Transfer Acceleration for faster file transfers.

📌 Static Website Hosting:

  • Configure bucket policies for static website hosting.
  • Ensure public access only to necessary files.

📌 AWS Organizations:
