StorageGRID Webscale platform services enable StorageGRID Webscale tenant accounts 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 following table summarizes the available platform services and the S3 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.
