# Bucket #### Overview Buckets are the core storage containers in Zata, used to organize and store all data within the platform. A bucket acts as a logical container for objects such as files, backups, media, and application data. Each object stored in a bucket is identified by a unique object key, enabling structured and efficient data management. Zata buckets are **S3-compatible** and support standard object storage behavior, allowing seamless integration with commonly used S3 tools, SDKs, and applications. Access to buckets is managed through access keys and bucket policies, ensuring secure, controlled, and role-based data access. Buckets provide a **scalable, durable, and reliable** solution for storing and managing data across a wide range of use cases, including application storage, backups, analytics, and media management. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
