Summary from the TLDR newsletter

AWS has a new metadata capability for Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) that enables users to attach rich, large-scale business context directly to their objects. The annotations feature allows users to store up to 1,000 named annotations per object, each up to 1 MB in size, in flexible formats like JSON, XML, YAML, or plain text. Annotations can be modified or deleted at any time without rewriting objects. The feature is available now in all AWS regions.
