How does the WordPress plugin integrate Amazon S3 internally?

One of the many services offered by Amazon Web Services is the storage service known as Amazon S3. Sites that serve up huge files or demand extra backups using a solution like our external backups add-on typically carry out this (downloads, software, videos, games, audio files, PDFs, etc.).

The fact that Amazon S3 exclusively deals with bulk storage means that you almost probably won't spend more with them than your WordPress provider. Offloading material to AWS may be relatively affordable, and the first year is free (up to 5 GB storage). In addition, your WordPress website loads faster because less stress is placed on it because Amazon serves your media directly.

What is Amazon S3?

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service), which was developed for the aim of storing and retrieving any amount of data or information from anywhere online, provides object storage. It provides this storage via a web services interface. Being designed for developers, it provides 99.999999999 percent dependability and 99.99 percent availability of products while facilitating web-scale computing. Furthermore, it supports storage of data files up to 5 terabytes in size.

Now Lets discuses how amazon s3 work internally with WordPress plugin

Data are kept as objects within buckets using the object storage service Amazon S3. A file and any associated metadata are both considered objects. An object's container is a bucket. You must first establish a bucket, give it a name, and choose an AWS Region in order to store your data in Amazon S3. Then, you upload your data as Amazon S3 objects to that bucket.

But 1st be sure that you have:

🔥 An existing WordPress site.

🔥 A local clone of your code repository.

🔥 An account with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Amazon offers free access to most of their services for the first year.

Create a New AWS S3 Bucket

If you do not have an existing bucket for your site, create one:

  1. From your AWS Console, click S3.
  2. Click Create Bucket.
  3. Enter a bucket name. The bucket name you choose must be unique across all existing bucket names in Amazon S3, and after you create a bucket, you cannot change its name. Because the bucket name is visible in the URL that points to the objects stored in the bucket, ensure that the bucket name you choose is appropriate.
  4. Select a region and click Create.
  5. The Set properties section has additional configuration options you can configure now, or wait and configure later. When complete, click Next.
  6. In the Permissions tab, tick the boxes for Read and Write access for both Objects and Permissions, then click Next.
  7. Review your settings, and then click Create bucket.
