Distributed Data Storage with Amazon S3 and Amazon DynamoDB: Scalable Databases
Before moving to the hands-on of distributed data storage with Amazon S3, let us have a brief overview of “What is Amazon S3 ?”.

Versioning
- You may use versioning to keep multiple versions of an object in one bucket.
- By default versioning is disabled.
- It prevents overwriting or accidental deletion.
- Get the non-concurrent version by specific version ID.
Cross Region Replication
Cross-region replication(CRR) enables automatic, asynchronous copying of objects across buckets in different AWS regions. Buckets configured for cross-region replication can be owned by the same AWS account or by different accounts.
