Store and Retrieve Objects with Amazon S3

During this hands-on lab, you'll create your first Amazon S3 bucket, move objects in and out of it, and confirm that storage behaves the way you expect. Along the way, you'll hit a common storage hiccup that blocks object retrieval, diagnose what went wrong, and fix it so the workflow succeeds. By the end, you'll have a working mental model of how buckets and objects relate and the confidence to handle a basic S3 storage task on your own.
