True or False? S3 is an object storage suitable for the storage of 'flat' files like Word documents and photos.

The assertion is true because Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is specifically designed for storing and retrieving any amount of data, making it highly suited for 'flat' files such as Word documents, images, videos, and other types of unstructured data. S3 functions as an object storage service, which means it stores data as objects within buckets. Each object, which contains the data itself, metadata, and a unique identifier, can be easily managed and accessed through a web interface or API.

This versatility allows users to store a wide variety of file types without the constraints associated with traditional file systems, which may require specific formats or structures. Additionally, S3 provides durability, scalability, and security, making it a reliable choice for storing files of different types, including those that are 'flat'.
