Amazon S3 Vectors
Amazon S3 Vectors is the first cloud object store with native support for storing and querying vector embeddings at scale, delivering purpose-built, cost-optimized vector storage for semantic search, AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation, and similarity-search applications. It introduces a new “vector bucket” type in S3, where users can organize vectors into “vector indexes,” store high-dimensional embeddings (representing text, images, audio, or other unstructured data), and run similarity queries via dedicated APIs, all without provisioning infrastructure. Each vector may carry metadata (e.g., tags, timestamps, categories), enabling filtered queries by attributes. S3 Vectors offers massive scale; now generally available, it supports up to 2 billion vectors per index and up to 10,000 vector indexes per bucket, with elastic, durable storage and server-side encryption (SSE-S3 or optionally KMS).
