Amazon S3

Amazon S3 is an object storage where users can store data from their business on a safe, cloud-based platform. Amazon S3 operates in 54 availability zones within 18 graphic regions and 1 local region.

The backups and WAL are stored in S3 as the long-term storage element. These are things that don’t have to be accessed regularly as part of the daily database operations and thus benefit from being stored in S3, which is a bit slower to access than EC2 but incredibly reliable. (S3 stands for Simple Storage Service.).
