Slow Upload Speed for S3 Managed Storage

Original Question or Issue:

Already tested uploading multiple files and am wondering why a single file upload could only reach 10MB/s, but if I upload 5 files, I've got 4-5 times the speed (S3 Managed Storage).


Environment:

  • Product - FileCloud Server
  • Version - Any
  • Platform - Any

Steps to Reproduce:

 


Error or Log Message:

Slow upload process using S3 as Managed Storage Path


Defect or Enhancement Number:

 


Cause:

When uploading files to S3, there are two stages:

Stage 1: Client Machine -> FileCloud Server

Stage 2: FileCloud Server -> S3 Bucket.


Resolution or Workaround:

Adjusting the upload chunk size for both flags will significantly speed up the upload process.

  TONIDOCLOUD_UPLOAD_CHUNK_SIZE_MB is used for chunked uploads browser -> FileCloud server (cloudconfig.php)

  TONIDOCLOUD_S3_MULTIPART_CHUNKSIZE_IN_MB is used for the upload FileCloud server -> object storage (amazons3storageconfig.php)
