The second option is HPE Helion Eucalyptus which offers a wide spectrum of AWS services emulation (CloudFormation, Cloudwatch, ELB…) including support for S3. It is a great tool to get started but does not implement all S3 commands and is not suited for production usage. The first one that I ran into is Fake S3, written in Ruby and available as a gem, it requires only a few seconds to install and the library is very well maintained.
As usual, the open source world did not disappoint me and provided several solutions, here are my favorites: That’s why I started looking into open source solutions that would emulate the S3 API and that could run on any machine. Some Holberton School students are also working during commutes, meaning either slow Internet connections and expensive bandwidth or no Internet connection at all. Because S3 is a must-know for any software engineer, I want my students to gain experience with it and use it in their web applications, yet I don’t want them to pay for it. While the service is great, it is not open source so you have to trust Amazon with your data and even though they provide a free-tier access for a year, one must enter credit card information to create an account. Companies such as DropBox, Netflix, Pinterest, Slideshare, Tumblr and many more are relying on it.
Think of it as a remote drive where you can store files in directories, retrieve and delete them. Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a very powerful online file storage web service provided by Amazon Web Services.
