Starting on April 6, 2026, we will be changing how server-side encryption with customer-provided keys (SSE-C) is enabled for Amazon S3 buckets. With this change, SSE-C will be disabled by default on all new S3 general purpose buckets. Furthermore, SSE-C will also be disabled for all existing buckets in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Accounts that […]

Data loss events from malware attacks can compromise your backups, putting your recovery strategy at risk. Organizations rely on backups as a critical defense against data loss, but these same backups can inadvertently preserve malware that has infiltrated production systems without being detected and removed. When malicious events occur, customers face a significant challenge: determining […]

Large global organizations often struggle to efficiently manage data copies across different geographic regions when using distributed object storage services. Although several approaches exist for cross-region data writing, common solutions such as data replication or streaming can be costly and introduce latency issues. Many customers have core services deployed globally across multiple Amazon Web Services […]

As enterprises pursue digital transformation and smart operations, they’re challenged by the limitations of traditional file systems. Machine-generated data from connected systems and automation has pushed legacy storage solutions beyond their capabilities. In manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, financial services, and other industries, organizations need reliable access to data across globally distributed locations. These organizations face rising […]

Organizations in regulated industries often mandate control over encryption keys when storing data in the cloud to meet compliance requirements. Although AWS Backup logically air-gapped vault provides secure, isolated backup storage, these customers have needed the ability to use their own AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer-managed keys (CMKs) to provide greater control of […]

Data scientists and engineers spend hours writing complex data pipelines to extract, transform, and load (ETL) data from various sources into their data lakes for data integration and creating unified data models to build business insights. The process involves understanding the source and target systems, discovering schemas, mapping source and target, writing and testing ETL […]

As businesses strive to build highly available applications, they must prevent disruptions that can lead to downtime and revenue loss. Robust monitoring systems help identify failures proactively, but chaos engineering has emerged as a systematic approach to building resilient systems by uncovering potential issues before they become outages. Chaos engineering is especially critical for storage […]

Today, consumers navigate thousands of products on e-commerce sites, hundreds of shows on streaming platforms, and countless options in digital marketplaces. This choice overload creates decision fatigue, yet consumers continue to demand more variety and make more purchases online. As a result, personalization has become essential—consumers reward brands that deliver relevant, tailored online experiences. However, […]

Cross-account Amazon S3 bulk transfers with enhanced AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) support become increasingly critical as organizations grow and accumulate vast amounts of digital assets across their enterprise. Managing millions or even billions of files presents unique challenges, especially when these files need to be moved securely between different AWS accounts. Operations such […]

Organizations face mounting challenges in managing and operationalizing their ever-growing data assets for machine learning and analytics workflows. When dealing with billions and trillions of objects, teams struggle to find what data they have and how to efficiently find specific datasets. Without proper data discovery and metadata management, teams spend valuable time searching for relevant […]
