Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) provides highly durable, fault-tolerant data storage. Behind the scenes, Amazon S3 stores objects redundantly on multiple devices across multiple facilities in a region.
Elastic Beanstalk creates an Amazon S3 bucket named elasticbeanstalk-region-account-id for each region in which you create environments. Elastic Beanstalk uses this bucket to store application versions, logs, and other supporting files.
Elastic Beanstalk applies a bucket policy to buckets it creates to allow environments to write to the bucket and prevent accidental deletion. If you need to delete a bucket that Elastic Beanstalk created, first delete the bucket policy from the Permissions section of the bucket properties in the Amazon S3 Management Console.
