[[repository-s3-usage]]
==== Getting started with AWS
The plugin will default to using
The plugin provides a repository type named `s3` which may be used when creating a repository.
The repository defaults to using
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html[IAM Role]
credentials for authentication. These can be overridden by, in increasing
order of precedence, system properties `aws.accessKeyId` and `aws.secretKey`,
environment variables `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_KEY`, or the
elasticsearch config using `cloud.aws.access_key` and `cloud.aws.secret_key` or
if you wish to set credentials specifically for s3 `cloud.aws.s3.access_key` and `cloud.aws.s3.secret_key`:
[source,yaml]

aws:
access_key: AKVAIQBF2RECL7FJWGJQ
secret_key: vExyMThREXeRMm/b/LRzEB8jWwvzQeXgjqMX+6br

===== Transport security
By default this plugin uses HTTPS for all API calls to AWS endpoints. If you wish to configure HTTP you can set
`cloud.aws.protocol` in the elasticsearch config. You can optionally override this setting per individual service
via: `cloud.aws.ec2.protocol` or `cloud.aws.s3.protocol`.
[source,yaml]
----
cloud:
aws:
protocol: https
s3:
protocol: http
ec2:
protocol: https
----
In addition, a proxy can be configured with the `proxy.host`, `proxy.port`, `proxy.username` and `proxy.password` settings
(note that protocol can be `http` or `https`):
[source,yaml]
----
cloud:
aws:
protocol: https
proxy:
host: proxy1.company.com
port: 8083
username: myself
password: theBestPasswordEver!
----
You can also set different proxies for `ec2` and `s3`:
[source,yaml]
----
cloud:
aws:
s3:
proxy:
host: proxy1.company.com
port: 8083
username: myself1
password: theBestPasswordEver1!
ec2:
proxy:
host: proxy2.company.com
port: 8083
username: myself2
password: theBestPasswordEver2!
----
===== Read timeout
Read timeout determines the amount of time to wait for data to be transferred over an established,
open connection before the connection is timed out. Defaults to AWS SDK default value (`50s`).
It can be configured with `cloud.aws.read_timeout` (or `cloud.aws.s3.read_timeout`) setting:
[source, yaml]
----
cloud.aws.read_timeout: 30s

==== S3 Repository
The S3 repository is using S3 to store snapshots. The S3 repository can be created using the following command:
credentials for authentication. The only mandatory setting is the bucket name:

"bucket": "my_bucket"
}

----
// CONSOLE
// TEST[skip:we don't have s3 setup while testing this]
[[repository-s3-client]]
==== Client Settings
The client used to connect to S3 has a number of settings available. Client setting names are of
the form `s3.client.CLIENT_NAME.SETTING_NAME` and specified inside `elasticsearch.yml`. The
default client name looked up by an s3 repository is called `default`, but can be customized
with the repository setting `client`. For example:
[source,js]
----
PUT _snapshot/my_s3_repository
{
"type": "s3",
"settings": {
"bucket": "my_bucket",
"client": "my_alternate_client"
}
}
----
// CONSOLE
// TEST[skip:we don't have s3 setup while testing this]
Some settings are sensitive and must be stored in the {ref}/secure-settings.html[elasticsearch keystore].
For example, to use explicit AWS access keys:
[source,sh]
----
bin/elasticsearch-keystore add s3.client.default.access_key
bin/elasticsearch-keystore add s3.client.default.secret_key
----
The following are the available client settings. Those that must be stored in the keystore
are marked as `Secure`.
`access_key`::
An s3 access key. The `secret_key` setting must also be specified. (Secure)
`secret_key`::
An s3 secret key. The `access_key` setting must also be specified. (Secure)
`endpoint`::
The s3 service endpoint to connect to. This will be automatically
figured out by the s3 client based on the bucket location, but
can be specified explicitly. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region.
`protocol`::
The protocol to use to connect to s3. Valid values are either `http`
or `https`. Defaults to `https`.
`proxy.host`::
The host name of a proxy to connect to s3 through.
`proxy.port`::
The port of a proxy to connect to s3 through.
`proxy.username`::
The username to connect to the `proxy.host` with. (Secure)
`proxy.password`::
The password to connect to the `proxy.host` with. (Secure)
`read_timeout`::
The socket timeout for connecting to s3. The value should specify the unit. For example,
a value of `5s` specifies a 5 second timeout. The default value is 50 seconds.
`max_retries`::
The number of retries to use when an s3 request fails. The default value is 3.
`use_throttle_retries`::
Whether retries should be throttled (ie use backoff). Must be `true` or `false`. Defaults to `false`.
[[repository-s3-repository]]
==== Repository Settings
The `s3` repository type supports a number of settings to customize how data is stored in S3.
These can be specified when creating the repository. For example:
[source,js]
----
PUT _snapshot/my_s3_repository
{
"type": "s3",
"settings": {
"bucket": "my_bucket_name",
"another_setting": "setting_value"

`path_style_access`::
Activate path style access for http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/VirtualHosting.html[virtual hosting of buckets].
The default behaviour is to detect which access style to use based on the configured endpoint (an IP will result
in path-style access) and the bucket being accessed (some buckets are not valid DNS names).
Note that you can define S3 repository settings for all S3 repositories in `elasticsearch.yml` configuration file.
They are all prefixed with `repositories.s3.`. For example, you can define compression for all S3 repositories
by setting `repositories.s3.compress: true` in `elasticsearch.yml`.
The S3 repositories use the same credentials as the rest of the AWS services
provided by this plugin (`discovery`). See <<repository-s3-usage>> for details.
Multiple S3 repositories can be created. If the buckets require different
credentials, then define them as part of the repository settings.

===== Using other S3 endpoint
If you are using any S3 api compatible service, you can set a global endpoint by setting `cloud.aws.s3.endpoint`
to your URL provider. Note that this setting will be used for all S3 repositories.
Different `endpoint` and `protocol` settings can be set on a per-repository basis
