Python version support policy

The SDK follows a release policy of an additional six months of support for the most recently deprecated language version.

ACS reserves the right to drop support for unsupported Python versions earlier to address critical security issues.

Getting started

Get credentials

Get your credentials and setup payments from the console on the website.

Next, set up credentials (in e.g. ~/.acs/credentials):

default:
    access_key_id = YOUR_KEY
    secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET

Note: You can include multiple profiles and set them using the ACS_PROFILE environment variable. See the examples/config folder for a sample file.

Initialize project

Assuming that you have a supported version of Python installed, you can first set up your environment with:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Then, you can install acs from PyPI with:

python -m pip install acs-sdk

Or you can install it from source (preferred option)

$ git clone https://github.com/AcceleratedCloudStorage/acs-sdk-python
$ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python -m pip install -e .

Write Code

You can either use the client for an interface similar to the AWS SDK or a FUSE mount for a file system interface. Check out the example folder or the docs folder for more details. Please refer to our benchmarks repository for comparisions against other vendors.

Share bucket

You can also bring your existing buckets into the service by setting a bucket policy and then sharing the bucket with the service.

Step 1: Setting a bucket policy

Here is the AWS reference guide for bucket policies. You can set the following bucket policy through the AWS Console or SDK to enable ACS to access it.

{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
   "Statement": [
    {
     "Sid": "AllowUserFullAccess", 
     "Effect": "Allow",
     "Principal": {
      "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::160885293701:root"
     },
     "Action": [
      "s3:*"
     ],
     "Resource": [
      "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKETNAME",
      "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKETNAME/*"
     ]
    }
   ]
}

Step 2: Notify ACS of this newly shared bucket

# Create a new client with the session
session = Session(region="us-east-1")
client = ACSClient(session=session)
client.share_bucket("BUCKETNAME")
