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:
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.
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: , where<name>--azid--x-s3is a unique identifier.<name>
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.
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.
