Sync Directory to S3

August 14, 2011 Posted by mitch | boto, python, S3 | 0 Comments

I needed the ability to sync a directory to S3 for a client... so I wrote up a script I'm calling sync2S3.py.  Some of the code came from the Django extensions project, which I modified to work without django and just sync a directory in an rsync like fashion.  Enjoy

Thank you yet again George Carlin.  You were well ahead of your time.

Its been a while since I've written anything... not sure why really... I've been feeling quite overwhelmed lately with work and home life... so I don't think I've had much time to work on anything cool.  

I should have some puppet examples soon... as when I do get a little down time at work I've been working on setting that up for a cloud environment I've been maintaining.  I also need to get some monitoring figured out for windows... why did microsoft change the WMI queries between their 32bit and 64bit OS?  I mean... aside from having to do the obvious and change win32 to win64... why would they make it more difficult than that?  or... better yet... why did they include the bit number at all?   The move from 32 to 64 bit was inevitable... just like the eventual move to 128?  or whatever will come next... so... why make your API's immediately dated by including something like that... 


Random Quote:

My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that 'achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that's nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.
