A presigned URL is used to provide permission to access objects in S3 for a certain time limit. It functions as a public URL for the specified time limit.
Amazon S3 primarily supports static website hosting because it's designed as a storage service, and hosting static websites requires minimal server-side processing. But, it lacks the infrastructure and capabilities to handle dynamic requests and generate content on the server-side.
An S3 ARN (Amazon Resource Name) is a unique identifier for an S3 resource, such as a bucket or an object. It's used in IAM policies, bucket policies, and AWS services to reference the specific S3 resource.
Data Protection Against Accidental Deletion or Overwrite
Audit and History Tracking
Restore from Ransomware or Corruption
Works with Lifecycle Rules
Integration with MFA Delete (Extra Protection)
Dynamic websites typically require backend logic, such as:
Accessing databases (like MySQL)
Running server-side scripts
User authentication
S3 doesn’t support these features. It just serves files — it can’t run any logic or process requests dynamically.
