README

s3du

s3du is a tool which lets you know how much space your AWS S3 buckets are using according to either AWS CloudWatch or AWS S3.

The CloudWatch mode is the cheapest, but least accurate option for getting the bucket sizes. It is less accurate because there is up to a 24 hour delay on the real bucket size vs. the size in CloudWatch as CloudWatch is only updated with S3 bucket sizes once per day.

The S3 mode is the most accurate but more expensive mode of operation. In this mode all of the objects in each discovered bucket are listed and their sizes summed.

Installation

s3du can be installed by running cargo install s3du.

Minimum Supported Rust Version

The MSRV for this project is currently 1.78.0.

Usage

s3du uses the default AWS credentials chain. As long as your AWS credentials are available in some fashion, and your IAM user/role has the correct permissions simply running s3du should return some results.

For example, if you manage your credentials with aws-vault, you might run s3du as follows:

aws-vault exec s3du-role -- s3du

By default, s3du will operate in the us-east-1 region. This can be overridden either by the AWS_REGION environment variable, or the --region CLI argument.

# Overriding the default AWS region with an environment variable
env AWS_REGION=eu-west-1 s3du

# Overriding the default AWS region with a CLI arg
s3du --region=eu-central-1

# Listing all buckets in S3 mode
s3du --mode=s3

# Listing a specific bucket's non-current object versions in S3 mode
s3du --mode=s3 --object-versions=non-current my-bucket

More information on running s3du can be found in the man page or via s3du --help.

Crate Features

The crate has two features, which are both enabled by default.

Feature Purpose
cloudwatch Enable use of CloudWatch API
s3 Enable use of S3 API

s3du requires at least one of these features be enabled, attempting to compile the crate with both features disabled will result in compilation errors.

AWS CloudWatch and AWS S3 Bucket Size Discrepancies

The CloudWatch and S3 modes will report sizes slightly differently. The CloudWatch mode will always show the total bucket size, that is, it will show the size of all current objects versions + non-current object versions. It is not possible to change this behaviour.

The S3 mode will, by default, only show the bucket size for current object versions. Command line flags (or environment variables) can be used to change how the S3 mode operates. With these you can change the S3 mode to operate in one of 3 ways:

  • All: Show bucket size as the sum of all modes listed below.
  • Current: Show bucket size as the sum of all current object versions, this is the default.
  • Multipart: Show bucket size as the sum of all in-progress multipart uploads.
  • NonCurrent: Show bucket size as the sum of all non-current object versions.

These can be selected via the --object-versions CLI flag if s3du was compiled with the s3 feature.

IAM Policies

In order to enable use of s3du, your IAM user or role will need one or both of the following IAM policies attached, depending on which s3du modes you wish to use.

Full examples of these policies are provided as:

  • A CloudFormation template
  • IAM policy JSON files
  • A Terraform module

Under the aws directory of the source repository.

CloudWatch IAM Policy

This policy will enforce HTTPS use and will allow s3du access to the AWS CloudWatch APIs that it requires.

S3 IAM Policy

This policy will enforce HTTPS use and will allow s3du access to the AWS S3 APIs that it requires.

                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

S3 Compatible Storage

s3du allows a custom endpoint to be specified while running in S3 mode. This allows use on S3 compatible storage such as MinIO.

This use case is currently only tested against MinIO and is very basic.

Example

env AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=minio \
    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=miniosecret \
    s3du --mode=s3 --endpoint=https://minio.example.org/
