Versioning in S3 is keeping multiple variants of an object in the same bucket. you can use the S3 versioning feature to preserve, retrieve, and restore every version of every object stored in your buckets. With versioning, you can recover more easily from both unintended user actions and application failures. If you enable versioning for a bucket, S3 automatically generates a unique version ID for the object that is being stored. For example, in one bucket you can have two objects with the same key but different version IDs, such as photo.png (version 1) and photo.png (version 2). to enable versioning, follow the instructions below.
