StorageGRID Webscale platform services enable you to leverage external services such as a remote S3 bucket, a Simple Notification Service (SNS) endpoint, or an Elasticsearch cluster to extend the services provided by a grid.
The Tenant Administrator Guide includes a complete description of platform services, including instructions on how to create an endpoint that represents the remote service in your tenant account, which is required before a service can be configured. This guide discusses the StorageGRID Webscale implementation of the configuration APIs.
The following table summarizes the available platform services, and the APIs used to configure them.
| Platform service | Purpose | S3 API used to configure the service |
|---|---|---|
| CloudMirror replication | Replicates objects from a source StorageGRID Webscale bucket to the configured remote S3 bucket. | PUT bucket replication |
| Notifications | Sends notifications about events in a source StorageGRID Webscale bucket to a configured Simple Notification Service (SNS) endpoint. | PUT bucket notification |
| Search integration | Sends object metadata for objects stored in a StorageGRID Webscale bucket to a configured Elasticsearch index. | PUT bucket metadata notification Note: This is a StorageGRID Webscale custom S3 API.

A grid administrator must enable the use of platform services for a tenant account before they can be used, as described in the Administrator Guide.
