Use this information to install and configure the Content Connector for AWS S3 as an alternative content store.
Using an Alfresco Module Package (AMP), the connector supplies a new content store which replaces the default file system-based implementation for the standard and (optionally) the deleted content stores. The content store implementation is responsible for reading and writing content streams using the S3 API, however, in order to improve performance a local Caching Content Store is used which uses the local disk to cache recently-used content items.
Note
By default the module configures the caching content store to use a maximum of 50 GB of disk, with no limit on individual file sizes.
Starting from version 3.1, the S3 Connector module provides out of the box content store subsystems, which can easily be set up based on the most suitable configuration. The subsystem approach allows a more flexible use of the S3 content store, even in conjunction with existing content stores.
You have two options for installing the S3 Connector:
The steps for both options are very similar, but the second allows you to add S3MultipleBuckets as a third alternative
for the S3 content store subsystem.
