Since File gateway offers local caching it will improve the read performance when accessing frequently used files for low-latency access, and data transfer between the data center and AWS is fully managed and optimized by the gateway. This can be done using AWS Storage Gateway's file interface, or file gateway. You can mount an Amazon S3 as NFS mount to the storage path where your application stores files. Potential Paths in Migrationĭetermining the potential path in migrating your file uploads to S3 can be challenging based on how file handling is already implemented in your application. For these kinds of operations, you can consider Amazon EFS in comparison to S3. Therefore, if your application, do file modification operations more often and needs to share or save the partial changes to Amazon S3, it can become expensive both in terms of cost (increasing the costs for S3 operations) as well as performance since the file needs to be uploaded for each change via the network. One of the limitations in Amazon S3 is that you cannot do partial updates to the files, meaning for each of the file changes, you need to the change outside Amazon S3 and upload it back. In addition to the basic features as a object storage, it provides an access control model, file organization using buckets and paths, file access via HTTP(s), metadata configuration, versioning, lifecycle management and integration with the other services in AWS both natively as well as via SDKs and APIs. This article discusses three potential paths to migrate an existing application file uploads to Amazon S3 with the nature of the change to your application to help you in taking the right decisions.įirst of all, it is important to understand that Amazon S3 is a highly durable and available, distributed object storage provided by AWS. This is one of the reasons why many choose Cloud Object Storage solutions like Amazon S3 to store these files. Uploading files not only consumes the storage while the application grows but also it affects the performance while accessing the files at scale.
If you have implemented an application that stores files on a web server, you have probably experienced the challenges when it comes to scaling.
