#AmazonforallSeries P5 | AWS Data Protection - Versioning

So, today I will be talking about AWS Data protection. Specifically, I will focus on the two major feature that Amazon is offering in the domain of Data Protection that is given below

1-   Data Encryption

2-   Versioning

Amazon S3 provides companies a highly durable, protected and scalable infrastructure designed for objects storage

Data Encryption

It refers to protection of data while it’s being transmitted and at rest

Data Encryption can happen in TWO ways:

·      Client-Side Encryption – Data encryption at rest

·      Server-Side Encryption – Data encryption in motion

AWS Versioning

·      It can be utilized to preserve, recover and restore early versions of every object you store in your Amazon S3 bucket

·      Unintentionally erase or overwrite of objects can be easily regained with versioning

·      In one Bucket, you can have same key name but different version IDs

For Example:

Demo for AWS Versioning Control

1-   Go to the AWS Console >> S3 bucket 

2-   Go to Properties Tab 

3-   Go to Versioning Block >> Check the Enable versioning and Click on Save

4-   Go to Bucket Overview Tab >> Here you can see in the below screenshot that I have already uploaded the file named “download.jfif”

5-   Now, I will upload the same file with the same name here. You will see it will upload the file but don’t show it uploaded and will not be shown in the bucket list because it will overwrite the existing file but will not delete the previous version file 

6-   Now Click on the File. You can see the new date and time of the file. 

7-   You can see the previous versions by click on the option given top left side like given in the screenshot 

Here you saw that how easily you can manage different versions of the same file and if you overwrite the existing file unintentionally, you can recover that file
