you can use an EBS volume attached to the pod, or shared EFS volume as well.

but for certain applications, s3 is simpler to use, especially when you need to scale

I have zero idea what an EBS, EFS, or pod is.

Not that I'm asking for an explanation. Just illustrating how much stuff there is to learn for the basic operation of "run this on your computer", even for an experienced developer. (I've been doing this for nearly 40 years.)

You should probably learn.

If I ever need it, I will. It's not useful in my area of work so I haven't bothered.

I am curious, so I took the opportunity to look up the strange sounding term "pre signed url". But that's just being a dilettante.

I took a class for AWS certification. Even though I never ended up taking the test, it has been extremely helpful throughout my career.
