S3 paths

S3 paths point at objects in S3 or S3-compatible storage.

Format

• s3://bucket/key or s3://bucket/prefix/ (trailing slash denotes a prefix/partition and is treated like a directory)

Behavior

• The first path segment is the bucket; the remainder is the object key or prefix.
• When a prefix is provided (trailing /) the path represents a partition or directory-like object collection.

Examples

s3_path = "s3://my-bucket/my-key.file"
s3_partition_path = "s3://my-bucket/my-key/"

Notes

• Ensure you have permissions to read the bucket. Check S3 credentials handling.
