 Amazon EC2 also uses Amazon S3 to store snapshots \(backup copies\) of the data volumes\. You can use snapshots for recovering data quickly and reliably in case of application or system failures\. You can also use snapshots as a baseline to create multiple new data volumes, expand the size of an existing data volume, or move data volumes across multiple Availability Zones, thereby making your data usage highly scalable\. For more information about using data volumes and snapshots, see [Amazon Elastic Block Store](AmazonEBS.md)\.
 
-Objects are the fundamental entities stored in Amazon S3\. Every object stored in Amazon S3 is contained in a bucket\. Buckets organize the Amazon S3 namespace at the highest level and identify the account responsible for that storage\. Amazon S3 buckets are similar to Internet domain names\. Objects stored in the buckets have a unique key value and are retrieved using a URL\. For example, if an object with a key value `/photos/mygarden.jpg` is stored in the `aws-s3-bucket1` bucket, then it is addressable using the URL `https://aws-s3-bucket1.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/mygarden.jpg`\.

However, many more software packages are available in various software repositories, and even more packages are available for you to build from source code\. For more information on installing and building software from these locations, see [Managing Software on Your Linux Instance](managing-software.md)\.

 The default time configuration for Amazon Linux instances uses Amazon Time Sync Service to set the system time on an instance\. The default time zone is UTC\. For more information on setting the time zone for an instance or using your own time server, see [Setting the Time for Your Linux Instance](set-time.md)\.
 
-If you have your own network with a domain name registered to it, you can change the hostname of an instance to identify itself as part of that domain\. You can also change the system prompt to show a more meaningful name without changing the hostname settings\. For more information, see [Changing the Hostname of Your Linux Instance](set-hostname.md)\. You can configure an instance to use a dynamic DNS service provider\. For more information, see [Setting Up Dynamic DNS on Your Linux Instance](dynamic-dns.md)\.

You can pass two types of user data to Amazon EC2: cloud\-init directives and shell scripts\. For more information, see [Running Commands on Your Linux Instance at Launch](user-data.md)\.
