Is S3 related to Amazon?

Yeah it's AWS's 'cloud storage service'.

It's actually 'Simple Storage Service', hence the acronym S3.

You can install your own S3 compatible storage system on premises. It can be anything from a simple daemon (Scality, JuiceFS) to a small appliance (TrueNAS) to a full-blown storage cluster (Ceph). OpenStack has it own object storage service (Swift).

If you fancy it for your datacenter, big players (Fujitsu, Lenovo, Huawei, HPE) will happily sell you "object storage" systems which also support S3 at very high speeds.

And for CI and local development testing you can use localstack which runs in a docker container and has implementations of most AWS services

Oh, that sounds interesting. We don't use AWS, but it's a nice alternative for people using AWS for their underpinnings.

Scality's open source S3 Server also can run in a container.

Yes, S3 is the name of Amazon Object Storage Service. Various players in the industry have started offering solutions with a compatible API which some people abusively call S3 too.
