Why can't I see my EBS volume snapshots in S3 from AWS Management Console?

Question

If EBS volume snapshots are stored in S3, then why can't I see them in the AWS Management Console? Am I missing something here?

Answer 1

EBS volumes are not available in user-visible buckets even though they are stored in S3.

You can view snapshots from the AWS Management Console:

https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-east-1#Snapshots:sort=snapshotId 

or By using the AWS API:
