Abstract
This SNIA white paper surveys the current landscape of available S3-based open-source API test tools, to assess their usefulness in driving multi-vendor S3 interoperability across diverse Cloud Object Storage (COS) deployment models (cloud, on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud). This paper furthers the goal of the COS Test Tools Technical Work Group (TWG) to foster more consistent customer solution experiences, since all global users require stable, accurate and reliable access to their data with reliable data management, regardless of S3 vendor implementation.
This S3 API Test Tool assessment helps implementation developers identify test methodologies, coverage, and feature gaps, as well as challenges to adapting available open-source tools to meet the needs of general multi-vendor interoperability testing. The conclusion proposes next steps and future initiatives to build industry consensus on developer best practice to promote wide-spread interoperability test automation.
