Amazon S3 Express One Zone introduces support for S3 Inventory

Amazon S3 Express One Zone, a high-performance storage class designed for applications that require low latency, has now incorporated support for S3 Inventory. S3 Inventory serves as a scheduled alternative to the synchronous List API provided by S3. This feature allows users to configure reports that can be generated daily or weekly, detailing the objects stored within an S3 directory bucket or those with a specific prefix, along with their metadata and encryption status.

Utilizing S3 Inventory can streamline business workflows and enhance the efficiency of big data operations. It also enables users to verify the encryption status of their objects, ensuring compliance with business, regulatory, and compliance requirements. Configuration of the inventory reports can be done using the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or S3 API. Users have the option to set up reports for all objects in an S3 directory bucket or for a subset of objects under a shared prefix.

As part of the configuration process, users can define a destination S3 bucket for the inventory reports, choose the output file format (CSV, ORC, or Parquet), and select specific object metadata needed for their business applications. This metadata can include details such as object name, size, last modified date, storage class, multipart upload flag, and encryption status.

S3 Inventory for S3 Express One Zone is available in all AWS Regions where this storage class is offered. For detailed pricing information, users are encouraged to visit the S3 pricing page. Additional information can be found in the S3 Inventory documentation.
