The newest AWS storage class may very well be the solution we’ve all been waiting for. Though Glacier seems like an obvious choice for archiving footage, its retrieval time of several hours and sometimes even days makes it impractical for many media use cases. The S3 Standard storage class, which is designed for frequently accessed data due to its low latency and high throughput, and the S3 Glacier Deep Archive which is the lowest-cost storage class, designed for long-term data retention. Until now, this wasn’t an easy thing to do as the user would usually only have the choice between two kinds of different storage classes. Simply put, the user wants to store the footage as cheaply as possible, but at the same time still be able to retrieve it quickly. When it comes to cloud archiving, one of the biggest challenges is the balancing act between the cost and the data retrieval time. Today, cloud storage already plays an important role in many media workflows, especially in relation to use cases when enabling worldwide collaboration and archiving footage. Lastly, S3 lifecycle rules can be used to transition the S3 object to glacier after a pre-set amount of time (or immediately).įor restoring: aws s3 cp s3:///.zfs.gz.gpg - | gpg -no-use-agent -passphrase-file.
passphrase -c - | aws s3 cp - s3:///.zfs.gz.gpg Or for incremental back-ups: zfs send -R -I | gzip | gpg -no-use-agent -no-tty -passphrase-file.
An existing snapshot can be sent to a S3 bucket as following: zfs send -R | gzip | gpg -no-use-agent -no-tty -passphrase-file.
