Amazon S3 Metadata
Accelerate data discovery with near real-time object metadata
Find and organize the data you need in Amazon S3
Amazon S3 Metadata taps into the full potential of your Amazon S3 data by making object metadata readily accessible and easier to query. Surface, store, and query rich metadata for all your objects stored in S3 so you can quickly find the data you need for business analytics, real-time inference applications, and more. S3 Metadata supports object metadata, which includes system-defined details like size and the source of the object, and custom metadata, which lets you annotate your objects with tags like product SKU, transaction ID, or content rating. S3 Metadata automatically populates metadata for both new and existing objects, providing you with a comprehensive, queryable view of your data.
