S3QL is a file system that stores all its data online using storage
|
|
services like Google Storage, Amazon S3, or OpenStack. S3QL
|
|
effectively provides a hard disk of dynamic, infinite capacity that
|
|
can be accessed from any computer with internet access running
|
|
Linux, FreeBSD or OS-X.
|
|
|
|
S3QL is a standard conforming, full featured UNIX file system that is
|
|
conceptually indistinguishable from any local file system. Furthermore,
|
|
S3QL has additional features like compression, encryption, data
|
|
de-duplication, immutable trees and snapshotting which make it especially
|
|
suitable for online backup and archival.
|
|
|
|
S3QL is designed to favor simplicity and elegance over performance and
|
|
feature-creep. Care has been taken to make the source code as readable and
|
|
serviceable as possible. Solid error detection and error handling have
|
|
been included from the very first line, and S3QL comes with extensive
|
|
automated test cases for all its components.
