BBS 5: S3 Hosting, Data Durability, and Storage Pricing Deep Dive

Ready to put your S3 knowledge into production? This focused, practical session is your toolkit for mastering three critical, real-world aspects of Amazon S3: hosting, data protection, and cost management.
We’ll build on our foundational knowledge by dedicating time to the most immediately applicable features. You'll move beyond theory with a step-by-step walkthrough of creating and configuring a resilient, highly available storage solution.

### Key Takeaways & Hands-On Demo:

• S3 Static Website Hosting: Go from concept to live deployment. We'll cover the necessary bucket configurations, public access settings, and best practices for using S3 to host a high-performance, cost-effective static website.
• Mastering Object Versioning: Understand how versioning provides an essential safety net against accidental deletions and overwrites, ensuring your data is durable and recoverable.
• Decoding S3 Storage Pricing: Get a clear breakdown of the different S3 storage classes and the factors that drive costs (storage, requests, data transfer). Learn practical strategies to optimize your storage bill.

The session will be split between focused theory and an intensive hands-on demo, giving you the confidence to implement these features immediately in your own AWS projects.
