In this tutorial, we dive into the S3 Consistency Model — a key concept in AWS storage and distributed systems. Understanding consistency models is vital for cloud architects, developers, and AWS exam candidates alike.

We compare eventual consistency vs strong consistency, explain their trade-offs, and provide real-world examples using YouTube and stock trading to highlight where each is appropriate. Best of all, we reveal what consistency model Amazon S3 uses today — and how that impacts your designs.

🔹 Key Topics Covered:

What consistency models solve in distributed systems

Real-world examples: YouTube likes vs stock price queries

Eventual consistency: fast but possibly stale data

Strong consistency: slower but guaranteed up-to-date data

AWS S3 replication architecture: across AZs and within a region

What consistency model S3 uses today (and the change AWS made)

What to remember for AWS certification exams

📘 Perfect for: AWS exam takers (CCP, Solutions Architect, DevOps Pro), Developers working with S3 storage in production systems, Cloud engineers designing globally distributed architectures, Anyone needing to understand consistency vs speed trade-offs
