- Bucket: All objects in S3 are stored within a bucket, which serves as the basic resource for this service, and therefore containers for those items within S3 are called buckets.
- Key: A unique name within a bucket identifying an object.
- Version ID: The version of the object. S3 supports versioning.
- Storage Classes: Different categories of storage provided by S3, such as Standard, Intelligent-Tiering, Glacier, etc.
