What is an S3 bucket?

S3 Buckets are a public cloud storage service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). S3 stands for Simple Storage Service and functions similarly to a file folder. 

Your advanced analytics platform or data warehouse can automatically receive results to an S3 bucket from COS, eliminating the need for downloading and manually handing files.   Each time a file is received to S3, you can trigger an ingestion into your analytics tools for automated processing.
