Abstract

In Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), binary data can be stored independently from the content nodes. The binary data is stored in a data store, whereas content nodes are stored in a node store.

Both data stores and node stores can be configured using OSGi configuration. Each OSGi configuration is referenced using a persistent identifier (PID).

In this article we learn the detailed steps for configuration S3 data store in AEM.

You can get the architectural level understand of S3 with AEM from article -

Amazon S3 Data Store

AEM can be configured to store data in Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3). It uses the org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.blob.datastore.S3DataStore.config PID for configuration.

In order to enable the S3 data store functionality, a feature pack containing the S3 Datastore Connector needs to be downloaded and installed.

Go to the Adobe Repository and download the latest version from the 1.10.x versions of the feature pack (for example, com.adobe.granite.oak.s3connector-1.10.0.zip) & download the ZIP file. Additionally, you also need to download and install the latest AEM service pack as listed on the AEM 6.5 Release Notes page.



Point to Understand -

When using AEM with TarMK, binaries will be stored by default in the FileDataStore. To use TarMK with the S3 Datastore, you need to start AEM using the crx3tar-nofds runmode, for example:



java -jar <>.jar -r crx3tar-nofds


S3 Configuration Steps -
Make sure you have downloaded S3 Connector feature pack as explained above
Extract the contents of the feature pack zip file to a temporary folder lets say /home/myuser/.
Go to the temporary folder (/home/myuser/) and navigate to the following location:
/home/myuser/com.adobe.granite.oak.s3connector-1.10.14j/cr_root/libs/system/install/
Copy all the contents from the above location to /crx-quickstart/install/
