To get the file size of an object in Amazon S3 using the Go programming language, you can follow these steps:

  1. Import the necessary packages:
  2. Import the "fmt" package for formatting and printing the output.
  3. Import the "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws" package for making AWS API requests.
  4. Import the "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session" package for creating a new AWS session.
  5. Import the "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/service/s3" package for interacting with the S3 service.

  13. Use the "GetObject" method of the S3 client to retrieve the metadata of the object.
  14. Pass the bucket name and object key as parameters.
  15. Assign the returned object to a variable.

  16. Extract the file size from the object's metadata:
