Versioning

A bucket configuration in which buckets store multiple versions of the same object under the same object name. Versioning buckets can have a bucket versioning state of enabled or suspended. Both states are still considered a versioning bucket. A non-versioning bucket is a bucket that has a versioning state of disabled.

Overwrite

A condition where a write request occurs for an object name that matches an object that already exists in a bucket. In this case the object that exists in the system is discarded and the new object is written in its place.
