AWS S3#

Lithops with AWS S3 as storage backend.

Installation#

  1. Install Amazon Web Services backend dependencies:

    $ python3 -m pip install lithops[aws]
    
  2. Login to Amazon Web Services Console (or signup if you don’t have an account)

  3. Navigate to S3 and create a bucket. Type a name (e.g. lithops-data). The bucket should be created in the same region as the Lambda functions are expected to be run (mainly to avoid inter-region data transfer charges).

Configuration#

  1. Edit your lithopsa config and add the following keys:

    lithops:
        storage: aws_s3
    
    aws:
        region : <REGION_NAME>
        access_key_id : <ACCESS_KEY_ID>
        secret_access_key : <SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>
