<html><body><p><font size="2">Hi Andi</font><br><br><font size="2">The current S3 compatibility in Spectrum Scale is delivered via the Swift3 middleware. This middleware has since been replaced by s3api in later versions of Swift. Spectrum Scale 5.1 will make use of Swift Train release which will include the new s3api middleware.</font><br><br><font size="2">I've tested the S3 compatibility with a few applications including Spectrum Scale itself (i.e. Cloud Data Sharing to another Scale Object store using S3 API) and Spectrum Protect etc. and haven't had any issue. I've also ran a few application tools to test for an S3 compliant object stores and again had no issues. </font><br><br><font size="2">You can use s3compat to test the current compatibility.. Or you can check here for the current compatibility.. </font><a href="https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/s3_compat.html"><font size="2">https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/s3_compat.html</font></a><br><br><font size="2">Not sure if there is any other way to talk HTTPS without using HAProxy. </font><br><br><font size="2">In any case, I've documented the process to setup an S3 compliant object store including supporting virtual-hosted style bucket addressing which you can find here..</font><br><br><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6720227398756909056/"><b><font size="2">https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6720227398756909056/</font></b></a><br><br><font size="2">Most storage vendors including minio would not support the full S3 API stack as alot of the calls are specific to AWS (like billing stuff etc.).</font><br><br><font size="2">Anyway, good luck with your testing.</font><br><br><font size="2" face="Arial">Kind Regards</font><br><b><font size="2" face="Arial"><br>Nishaan Docrat <br>Client Technical Specialist - Storage Systems</font></b><br><font size="2" face="Arial">IBM Systems Hardware<br></font><br><font size="2" face="Arial">Work: +27 (0)11 302 5001<br>Mobile: +27 (0)81 040 3793<br>Email: nishaan@za.ibm.com</font><p><a href="http://www.ibm.com/storage"><img src="cid:1__=CDBB0C9DDFDA16908f9e8a93df938690918cCDB@" width="420" height="105" border="0"></a><br><br><img width="16" height="16" src="cid:2__=CDBB0C9DDFDA16908f9e8a93df938690918cCDB@" border="0" alt="Inactive hide details for Andi Christiansen ---2020/10/27 13:59:30---Hi all, We have over a longer period used the S3 API withi"><font size="2" color="#424282">Andi Christiansen ---2020/10/27 13:59:30---Hi all, We have over a longer period used the S3 API within spectrum Scale..

And that has shown that it does not support very many applications because of limitations of the API.. <br><br><br><br>Has anyone got any experience with any other product we can deploy on-top of Spectrum Scale that will give us a true S3 API with full functionalities and able to answer on port 443? As of now we use HAProxy to forware ssl request back and forth from Scale S3 API. <br><br><br><br>We have looked at MinIO which seems to be fairly simple and maybe might solve a lot of incompatibilities with clients software. But the product seems to be very badly documented at least for me. <br><br>The idea is basically that a client uses their backup application(rubrik, veeam etc.) to connect to a domain(for example backup.mycompany.com) with their access and secret key and have access to their bucket only. and it must be over https/ssl. <br><br><br><br>If someone has any knowledge to minio or any other product that might solve our problem I will be glad to hear from you! 😊 <br><br>Thank you in advance! <br><tt><font size="2">_______________________________________________<br>gpfsug-discuss mailing list<br>gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org<br></font></tt><tt><font size="2"><a href="http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss">http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss</a></font></tt><tt><font size="2"> <br></font></tt><br><br><BR>
