Greetings-

Thanks so much for the support of my random questions, its been helpful so far. While deploying Nuxeo in AWS, we're exploring integrating s3 as a blob provider store for Nuxeo.

I'm inquiring on how to get nuxeo to store my asset in s3, right now it seems to be putting it in MongoDB's NoSQL store. Is this desired behavior? Is it only possible to do one or the other (s3 or mongoDB store?) or is it to do both (store in both s3 AND mongoDB?).

Do I need to mount the bucket with something like s3fuse to the OS to a directory path that is defined in nuxeo.conf for repository.binary.store? I've been reading the source here: https://github.com/nuxeo/cloudbinarymanager/blob/master/src/main/java/org/nuxeo/ecm/core/storage/sql/S3BinaryManager.java and it looks like it interacts with the AWS API to use the bucket, so I can only assume mounting it with some external fuse mount isn't needed.

Any direction is appreciated here.

current setup:

• Nuxeo-Platform: v8.10 (6 nodes 3 AZ's)
• Amazon-s3-Online-Storage Plugin(manually installed): 1.7.3
• MongoDB: v3.2 ( 3 nodes, 1 Primary, 2 secondaries, 3 AZ)
• RDS PostgreSQL: v9.5.4 (2 nodes, 1 Primary, 1 secondary, 2 AZ)
• ElasticCache Redis: v2.8.23 (3 nodes, 3 AZ)
• ElasticSearch: v2.3.5 (13 nodes, 3 Master, 3 Ingest, 3 Client, 4 Data, 3AZ)

However I never see the s3 bucket being leveraged for store.
