Using AWS S3 Bucket for Pictures

customaware

Quick question….

If you use an AWS S3 bucket as the storage location for Pictures, am I correct in assuming that Aware uses PUTs and GETs to send and retrieve the images from the bucket?
I have implemented this approach and am seeing an enormous amount of PUTs and GETs in the Server log and can only guess that it is Aware generating them and if so… then is quite normal.

Any enlightenment here would be appreciated.

I use S3 buckets for storing documents, but I’ve never looked at what’s going on in the background. I have to assume that PUTs and GETs are certainly occurring. Happy to test/check something if it will help your understanding.

Outside of aware, here is something I have noticed with S3 buckets.

I use these for daily backups, using some backup program that works with the scheduler and can store in my S3 containers.
It’s extremely fast.
But when I login to my azure portal via the web, I can go into that same container and see an upload function. Uploading a file that way is very very slow compared to the back up program doing it.
The backup program has an option for multi threading/multi connections. I don’t know exactly how it’s worded.
So maybe the slowness you see is related to the method he’s using.
If someone wants to publish a large file somewhere, I could use my backup program to put it up on my container just to time how long it takes. And then maybe you could compare that to how long it takes you to put the same file up there through aware.
Or not. No worries.

Mark, I’m wondering where you see these multiple gets and puts.
Is it in the chrome developer console/network tab.
Because that is not necessarily the communication to the s3, it’s just the browser uploading the file to aware.
Just an idea. But tell me where you’re seeing this network traffic

I see the PUTs and GETs in the Server Console log of the Control Panel
