AWS Data Exchange for Amazon S3 is now generally available, helping customers easily find, subscribe to, and use third-party data files for faster time to insight, storage cost optimization, simplified data licensing management, and more. This feature is intended for subscribers who want to use third-party data files directly from data providers’ Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets, without needing to create or manage data copies, as well as data providers who want to offer in-place access to data hosted in their Amazon S3 buckets.

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) interface endpoints for Amazon S3 now offer private DNS options that can help you more easily route S3 requests to the lowest-cost endpoint in your VPC. With private DNS for S3, your on-premises applications can use AWS PrivateLink to access S3 over an interface endpoint, while requests from your in-VPC applications access S3 using gateway endpoints. Routing requests like this helps you take advantage of the lowest-cost private network path without having to make code or configuration changes to your clients.

Amazon S3 Multi-Region Access Points now support datasets that are replicated across multiple AWS accounts. Cross-account Multi-Region Access Points simplify object storage access for applications that span both AWS Regions and accounts, avoiding the need for complex request routing logic in your applications. They provide a single global endpoint for your multi-region applications, and dynamically route S3 requests based on policies that you define. This helps you to more easily implement multi-region resilience, latency-based routing, and active-passive failover, even when data is stored in multiple accounts.
