Using s3fs on the asset server has been slow and sometimes unreliable. In order to make the asset server more robust, it would be best to edit the asset server code to directly use s3 commands. We will also need to develop a procedure for clients to follow for uploading and downloading data directly from the directory in the s3 bucket.

TODO:

• List of pros and cons of each
• Report on speed/efficiency of using S3 commands vs S3 mount vs EFS
• In case of updates, test all clients
• Report timed tests for new solution
• Report on scalability of the chosen solution
• Report on backups improvement

Notes:

• Testing, comparison and reports should be done before any updates
