Magento 2 Multi Vendor Amazon S3
Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a cloud computing web service offered by Amazon through AWS(Amazon Web Service).
Moreover, Amazon S3 works on the basic principle of CDS(Content Delivery Network) which stores multiple copies of data on different servers. Also, it is a highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon offers.
It measures which server is closest to the requesting client and accordingly delivers data from that particular server.
