Amazon S3
This page provides real-time availability and performance metrics for Amazon S3. Simple Storage Service offers scalable object storage for data backup, archival, and analytics.
Dashboards & Latency Matrices
These pre-built availability and performance dashboards and latency matrices provide quick access to comprehensive historical and real-time analytics derived from our continuous cloud service testing. These reports offer insights into service availability patterns, performance trends, and latency characteristics across multiple cloud providers and regions. Each report includes time-bound analysis spanning from 1 day to 1 year, with customizable views, bookmarking, and URL-based sharing for collaborative analysis.
Dashboards
Detailed summaries of performance and availability featuring time series graphs, latency distribution charts, and summary metrics for cloud service control and data plane operations, and network performance.
Latency Matrices
Summarized statistical analysis providing median, mean, and percentile performance metrics in matrix format offering comparative views of latency and availability across services, regions, and time periods.
