S3QL is a FUSE-based UNIX file system that stores all its data in cloud object storage services like Amazon S3, Google Storage, or OpenStack, presenting a dynamically sized virtual drive. It adds compression, AES encryption, de-duplication, immutable trees, and copy-on-write snapshots, making it well suited for online backup and archival.
Use cases
- mount cloud object storage as a local file system
- encrypted backups to Amazon S3
- store data online with de-duplication and compression
- create space-efficient snapshots of directory trees
- archive data with immutable backup trees
- access the same data from multiple computers over the internet
When to choose
- you need a POSIX-like file system backed by S3-compatible object storage
- you want client-side encryption, compression, and de-duplication for cloud backups
- you need snapshots or immutable trees for archival integrity
When to avoid
- you need maximum performance or low-latency file access
- you need a network file system shared concurrently by multiple machines
- you only need simple object upload/download without a file system interface
