The Pithos Guide

[rdtsc]

Speaking of S3 compatible file storage, I had found LeoFS. I noticed it has a distributed architecture, erasure coding support, and most interestingly, NFS support, multi-dc replication, extensive monitoring, and looks like has been in production for a while.

NFS support could be a game changer, like say allowing researchers or some departments just access files in a directory and use whatever tools they find are easier (ipython, machine learning etc) not having to know about S3.

Been use Pithos in development (4 months) and production (2 months) as a replacement for S3, so far it's still stable.

Too bad this hasn't had a release in 8 months nor a commit in 4 months.

You're a bit harsh, last one was 28 days ago :-). To be honest, except for the big chunk of work that signature v4 represents, the lack of commit/releases stems from the fact that it has been stable.
