Cloudstack S3 (Simple Storage Service) Support
Hi all,
I've been doing some reading there are definitely implementation that make use of Cloudstack and provide a Storage Instance type server.
Essentially we want the same type of service as the Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service).
Cloudstack has an S3 interface though it is not enabled by default (need to change Global Setting): https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/s3-api-in-cloudstack.html
Even though Cloudstack supports the S3 API , do we still need a storage implementation - like CAStor, or Cloudian, or GlusterFS?
Still not clear to me if we configure anything in the Cloudstack Manager to enable this or if it is just enabling the S3 API and implementing the storage layer?
Please clarify.
Thanks and Regards.
Asmita Patil Vagyani.

Asmita, a while back I did this deck:
http://www.slideshare.net/sebastiengoasguen/cloudstack-s3
I did not test it with 4.0, so it probably needs to be updated.

Hi all,
I can see that cloudstack has S3 support , and we can enable the S3 flag in Cloudstack.
However, I want to know if I can let user create storage buckets and give users a key with which they can put data into these storage buckets.
I think, I can have my own huge single NFS storage server, and as the user come I can assign buckets on the server.
Let me know if this is possible from cloudstack, if yes then which API documentation can help me find a solution.
Thanks and Regards.
Asmita

The storage.root parameter in cloud-bridge.properties can point to any
filesystem: with this you will get a filesystem-backed S3 service.
However the reliability, durability and scalability are guaranteed by the choice of filesystem. For example if the filesystem is an NFS mount provided by a NetApp server, the reliability properties of the NetApp server would apply.

The storage.root parameter in cloud-bridge.properties can point to any
filesystem: with this you will get a filesystem-backed S3 service.
However the reliability, durability and scalability are guaranteed by the
choice of filesystem. For example if the filesystem is an NFS mount
provided by a NetApp server, the reliability properties of the NetApp
server would apply.
