Amazon S3 Metadata now available in six additional AWS Regions

Amazon S3 Metadata is now available in six additional AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (New Zealand), Asia Pacific (Taipei), Asia Pacific (Thailand), and Mexico (Central).

S3 Metadata is a fast and easy way to instantly discover and understand your S3 data with automated, easily queried metadata that updates in near real time. This helps you curate, identify, and use your S3 data for business analytics, real-time inference applications, and more. S3 Metadata automatically populates metadata for both new and existing objects, providing you with a comprehensive, queryable view of your data. Annotations extend S3 Metadata, letting you attach rich business context directly to your objects in JSON, XML, or YAML, with up to 1 GB per object. To query annotations at scale, you can surface them in S3 Metadata annotation tables in these Regions.

With this launch, S3 Metadata is now generally available in 38 AWS Regions. For pricing details, visit the S3 pricing page. To learn more, visit the product page and documentation.
