# Semantic Conventions for AWS S3 **Status**: [Experimental][DocumentStatus] The Semantic Conventions for AWS S3 extend the general [AWS SDK Semantic Conventions](/docs/cloud-providers/aws-sdk.md) that describe common AWS SDK attributes in addition to the Semantic Conventions described on this page. | Attribute | Type | Description | Examples | Requirement Level | |---|---|---|---|---| | `aws.s3.bucket` | string | The S3 bucket name the request refers to. Corresponds to the `--bucket` parameter of the [S3 API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/index.html) operations. [1] | `some-bucket-name` | Recommended | | `aws.s3.copy_source` | string | The source object (in the form `bucket`/`key`) for the copy operation. [2] | `someFile.yml` | Recommended | | `aws.s3.delete` | string | The delete request container that specifies the objects to be deleted. [3] | `Objects=[{Key=string,VersionId=string},{Key=string,VersionId=string}],Quiet=boolean` | Recommended | | `aws.s3.key` | string | The S3 object key the request refers to. Corresponds to the `--key` parameter of the [S3 API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/index.html) operations. [4] | `someFile.yml` | Recommended | | `aws.s3.part_number` | int | The part number of the part being uploaded in a multipart-upload operation. This is a positive integer between 1 and 10,000. [5] | `3456` | Recommended | | `aws.s3.upload_id` | string | Upload ID that identifies the multipart upload. [6] | `dfRtDYWFbkRONycy.Yxwh66Yjlx.cph0gtNBtJ` | Recommended | **[1]:** The `bucket` attribute is applicable to all S3 operations that reference a bucket, i.e. that require the bucket name as a mandatory parameter. This applies to almost all S3 operations except `list-buckets`. **[2]:** The `copy_source` attribute applies to S3 copy operations and corresponds to the `--copy-source` parameter of the [copy-object operation within the S3 API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/copy-object.html). This applies in particular to the following operations: - [copy-object](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/copy-object.html) - [upload-part-copy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/upload-part-copy.html) **[3]:** The `delete` attribute is only applicable to the [delete-object](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/delete-object.html) operation. The `delete` attribute corresponds to the `--delete` parameter of the [delete-objects operation within the S3 API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/delete-objects.html). **[4]:** The `key` attribute is applicable to all object-related S3 operations, i.e. that require the object key as a mandatory parameter. This applies in particular to the following operations: - [copy-object](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/copy-object.html) - [delete-object](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/delete-object.html) - [get-object](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/get-object.html) - [head-object](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/head-object.html) - [put-object](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/put-object.html) - [restore-object](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/restore-object.html) - [select-object-content](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/select-object-content.html) - [abort-multipart-upload](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/abort-multipart-upload.html) - [complete-multipart-upload](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/complete-multipart-upload.html) - [create-multipart-upload](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/create-multipart-upload.html) - [list-parts](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/list-parts.html) - [upload-part](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/upload-part.html) - [upload-part-copy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/upload-part-copy.html) **[5]:** The `part_number` attribute is only applicable to the [upload-part](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/upload-part.html) and [upload-part-copy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/upload-part-copy.html) operations. The `part_number` attribute corresponds to the `--part-number` parameter of the [upload-part operation within the S3 API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/upload-part.html). **[6]:** The `upload_id` attribute applies to S3 multipart-upload operations and corresponds to the `--upload-id` parameter of the [S3 API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/index.html) multipart operations. This applies in particular to the following operations: - [abort-multipart-upload](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/abort-multipart-upload.html) - [complete-multipart-upload](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/complete-multipart-upload.html) - [list-parts](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/list-parts.html) - [upload-part](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/upload-part.html) - [upload-part-copy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/upload-part-copy.html) [DocumentStatus]: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/tree/v1.26.0/specification/document-status.md
