Difference b/w General-purpose and a Directory bucket in Amazon S3

 The key differences between a general-purpose S3 bucket and a directory bucket in Amazon S3 are:

  1. Purpose:

    • General purpose S3 buckets are the standard type of S3 buckets used for storing objects.
    • Directory buckets are a specialized type of S3 bucket designed for use with the AWS Application Discovery Service.
  2. Naming Conventions:

    • General purpose S3 bucket names must be unique across all AWS accounts and regions.
    • Directory bucket names must follow a specific naming convention: 
      <name>--azid--x-s3
      , where 
      <name>
       is a unique identifier.
  3. Inactive State:

    • Directory buckets that have no request activity for at least 90 days can transition to an inactive state, where they become temporarily inaccessible for reads and writes.
    • General purpose S3 buckets do not have this inactive state behaviour.
  4. Access and Permissions:

    • Access to directory buckets is typically restricted to users with permissions to the AWS Application Discovery Service and Migration Hub.
    • General purpose S3 buckets can be accessed and managed by any user or service with the appropriate permissions.
