S3 API supported and unsupported features

ECS supports a subset of the Amazon S3 REST API.

The following sections detail the supported and unsupported APIs:

Supported S3 APIs

Table 1. Supported S3 APIsThe following table lists the supported S3 API methods:
Feature Notes
GET Service ECS supports marker and max-keys parameters to enable paging of bucket list.
GET /?marker=<bucket>&limit=<num>
For example:
GET /?marker=mybucket&limit=40
DELETE Bucket -
DELETE Bucket cors -
DELETE Bucket life cycle Only the expiration part is supported in life cycle. Policies that are related to archiving (AWS Glacier) are not supported. Lifecycle is not supported on file system-enabled buckets.
DELETE Bucket policy -
GET Bucket (List Objects)
  • For file system-enabled buckets, / is the only supported delimiter when listing objects in the bucket.
  • ECS returns the list results in UTF-16 binary order.
GET Bucket (List Objects) Version 2
  • For file system-enabled buckets, / is the only supported delimiter when listing objects in the bucket.
  • ECS returns the list results in UTF-16 binary order.
GET Bucket cors -
GET Bucket acl -
GET Bucket life cycle Only the expiration part is supported in life cycle. Policies that are related to archiving (AWS Glacier) are not supported. Lifecycle is not supported on file system-enabled buckets.
GET Bucket policy -
GET Bucket Object versions -
GET Bucket versioning -
HEAD Bucket -
List Multipart Uploads -
PUT Bucket Where PUT is performed on an existing bucket, refer to Behavior where bucket already exists.
PUT Bucket cors -
PUT Bucket acl -
PUT Bucket life cycle Only the expiration part is supported in life cycle. Policies that are related to archiving (AWS Glacier) are not supported. Lifecycle is not supported on file system-enabled buckets.
PUT Bucket policy Cannot configure the bucket policies for file system-enabled or CAS-enabled buckets. Cannot configure the bucket policies for operations that ECS does not support. More information about bucket policy support is provided in Bucket policy support.
PUT Bucket versioning -
DELETE Object -
Delete Multiple Objects -
GET Object -
GET Object ACL -
HEAD Object -
PUT Object Supports chunked PUT
PUT Object acl -
PUT Object - Copy If the object size is greater than 5 GB, use Upload Part - Copy instead of PUT Object - Copy.

PUT Bucket Object Lock -
GET Bucket Object Lock -

PUT Bucket enable-object-lock

PUT Object legal hold -
GET Object legal hold -
PUT Object retention -
GET Object retention -
NOTE:
  • Creation of buckets using names with fewer than three characters fails with 400 Bad Request, InvalidBucketName.
  • When creating a bucket or object with empty content, ECS returns 400 invalid content-length value, which differs from AWS which returns 400 Bad Request.
  • Copying an object to another bucket that indexes the same user metadata index key but with a different datatype is not supported and fails with 500 Server Error.
  • When listing the objects in a bucket, if you use a prefix and delimiter but supply an invalid marker, ECS throws 500 Server Error, or 400 Bad Request for a file system-enabled bucket. However, AWS returns 200 OK and the objects are not listed.
  • For versioning enabled buckets, ECS does not create a delete marker when a deleted object is deleted again. This is different from AWS, which always inserts delete marker for deleting deleted objects in versioning enabled buckets. This change in behavior is only applicable when the deleted object is deleted again from owner zone.

Table 2. Additional featuresThe table lists the additional features
Feature Notes
Presigned URLs ECS supports use of presigned URLs to grant access to objects without needing credentials. More information can be found at: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/PresignedUrlUploadObject.html.
Chunked PUT PUT operation can be used to upload objects in chunks, which enable content to be sent before the total size of the payload is known. Chunked transfer uses the Transfer-Encoding header (Transfer-Encoding: chunked) to specify that content is transmitted in chunks.
