12 Keepstore can store data in object storage compatible with the S3 API, such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Ceph RADOS.
14 Volumes are configured in the @Volumes@ section of the cluster configuration file.

70 # By default keepstore stores data using the MD5 checksum
71 # (32 hexadecimal characters) as the object name, e.g.,
72 # "0123456abc...". Setting PrefixLength to 3 changes this
73 # naming scheme to "012/0123456abc...". This can improve
74 # performance, depending on the S3 service being used. For
75 # example, PrefixLength 3 is recommended to avoid AWS
76 # limitations on the number of read/write operations per
77 # second per prefix (see
78 # https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/s3-request-limit-avoid-throttling/).
80 # Note that changing PrefixLength on an existing volume is
81 # not currently supported. Once you have started using a
82 # bucket as an Arvados volume, you should not change its
83 # configured PrefixLength, or configure another volume using
84 # the same bucket and a different PrefixLength.

118 Two S3 drivers are available. Historically, Arvados has used the @goamz@ driver to talk to S3-compatible services. More recently, support for the @aws-sdk-go-v2@ driver was added. This driver can be activated by setting the @UseAWSS3v2Driver@ flag to @true@.
120 The @aws-sdk-go-v2@ does not support the old S3 v2 signing algorithm. This will not affect interacting with AWS S3, but it might be an issue when Keep is backed by a very old version of a third party S3-compatible service.
122 The @aws-sdk-go-v2@ driver can improve read performance by 50-100% over the @goamz@ driver, but it has not had as much production use. See the "wiki":https://dev.arvados.org/projects/arvados/wiki/Keep_real_world_performance_numbers for details.
