Use cases

Let's now see how Amazon S3 can be used in a project.

In the preceding diagram we have the following:

• The Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) machines where the application is deployed.
• The Amazon Load Balancer will be responsible for redirecting the user request to specific applications deployed on the EC2 machines.
• The Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is used for storing application data. It provides scalability, durability, and an easy-to-manage database service.
• Amazon S3 where the image/audio/video files are stored.
• And lastly, the front devices like a laptop, desktop, or mobile applications that send requests to the application.

The preceding example is a sample case study. There are various ways for integrating Amazon S3 in our application.
