What is a key name in AWS (Amazon Web Services)?

Question

Here is my piece of code 

private static String bucketName     = "*** Provide bucket name ***";

private static String keyName        = "*** Provide key ***";

private static String uploadFileName = "*** Provide file name ***"; 

 And my question is, What is that keyName for? Is it the name of the object that should be in my bucket or the key is given on account creation?

Answer 1

In S3 keys looks like file path, what it means is that you can upload objects using a key like 

/some/key/to/an/image/file.jpg

without first having to create a path 

/some/key/to/an/image

So when you upload any objects to S3 you specify a unique public key for the object.
