Amazon S3

Mount S3 bucket

• "Simple Storage Service"
• create 2 buckets
  • timothydickephotography for the site (read only for the world, read/write for me)
  • timrawdata (read/write for me only)
• in permissions modify the bucket policy
  • Add read only permission to anonymous user
• Use s3fs to mount bucket to EC2

wget https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/archive/v1.80.tar.gz
mv v1.80.tar.gz s3fs-fuse-v1.80.tar.gz 
tar zxvf s3fs-fuse-v1.80.tar.gz
cd s3fs-fuse-1.80/
sudo yum install automake
./autogen.sh
sudo yum install curl-devel fuse-devel libxml2-devel openssl-devel
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-openssl
make
sudo make install

• AWS IAM Management: (it's really as simple as this)
  1. Create group with S3 privileges
  2. Create user in group
  3. Get access key and password
  4. put them in /etc/passwd-s3fs
• Create your mount point

sudo su
cd /mnt
mkdir timothydickephotography
chown ec2-user:ec2-user /mnt/timothydickephotography
Ctrl-D

• /usr/bin/s3fs timothydickephotography /mnt (No sudo!)
