What is the primary purpose of Amazon S3?

Object storage

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a cloud-based storage solution offered by Amazon Web Services. Its main purpose is to provide object storage, which means it is designed to store and retrieve any type of data, from small text files to large media files. This makes option A the correct answer. Option B, block storage, is a different type of storage that is more suitable for storing and managing structured data. Option C, file storage, is also different as it is used for storing files in a hierarchical structure. And option D, database storage, is a type of storage that is optimized for storing and managing structured data in a database format. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the primary purpose of Amazon S3.
