How to connect the Amazon s3 store with plugins to WordPress Website

 


Amazon S3 is a cloud storage service that allows you to store almost unlimited amounts of data. A single upload file might be up to 5TB in size. You can generate public and private signed URLs for uploaded files with specified expiration times and share them with users using the AWS Amazon S3 File Uploader.

Email or directly from a browser can be used to exchange links. You can also save money on storage by setting up automatic file deletion through the AWS Console.

What Is AWS S3?

AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) is a dependable service that stores persistent objects. Objects or files can be stored in sizes ranging from 0 bytes to 5 terabytes.

S3 provides a set of REST API endpoints to facilitate data uploads, just like the rest of the AWS ecosystem. AWS also offers a number of SDKs that act as wrappers for the REST API.

What are the advantages of using Amazon S3 for your WordPress site?

Reduced requests to the server– You’ll reduce page load times because your server won’t have to provide media files (or maybe assets).

More affordable storage — If you’re nearing your server’s storage restrictions, I’m almost certain S3’s storage pricing will be less expensive than what your host will charge.

Detached media — It’s a lot easier to move your WordPress site around now that your media assets are separated from it (like between hosts). You’re essentially just copying and pasting the PHP scripts, which takes up very little space.

Scalability — Because Amazon S3 powers the entire Internet (well, that’s a stretch), you can be assured that whatever happens to your site will be handled by Amazon.
