AWS S3 Support
Upload, transform, optimize, and serve files from any AWS S3 bucket with Bytescale.
Own and manage the AWS S3 bucket your files are stored in.
No storage charge for files stored in AWS S3 buckets. *
*
You’ll still be charged the full price of your Bytescale Plan, which includes built-in storage and an upload request quota. Storage in your bucket can grow without limit and won’t incur extra charges from Bytescale. Uploads to external buckets using the Bytescale API count toward your upload request quota. Data transferred from Bytescale to external buckets counts as egress traffic. Enterprise Plans may use different bandwidth rates for egress to external storage vs. CDN delivery—please contact support for details.
Please note the following when using AWS S3:
Storage usage for AWS S3 is not reported in the Bytescale Dashboard.
Requests to transform files from AWS S3 may incur additional latency due to internal download operations:
Video and audio transformations incur ~1 second of extra latency per 75MB of input file size when using AWS S3.*
Image transformations incur no extra latency: the performance is the same as using Bytescale's Built-in Storage.
*
Applies to the first request only: once the result is cached all subsequent requests to the same URL will return near-instantly.
To use your own AWS S3 bucket as read/write storage for your Bytescale account:
Create an S3 bucket in AWS (if you haven't already).
Create an AWS access key + secret access key pair.
This key pair must have read/write/list access to the S3 bucket.
Create a folder in the Bytescale Dashboard.
Edit the folder's settings.
Click on "Storage Settings".
Change "Storage Type" to "AWS S3".
Follow the instructions on the form that appears.
Click on "Save Changes".
For reference, the "Storage Settings" section of the "Folder Settings" page is shown below:
