Browse Bucket for s3

0

I saw that some free data on AWS Marketplace have a browse bucket feature for objects in s3. Example: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-2djddrfg7gx6k?sr=0-1&ref_=beagle&applicationId=AWSMPContessa#resources Is there an amazon service that lets me do this? I am trying to enable metered access to my s3 bucket and charge based on bytes (single object or a batch). Can I do this using this browse bucket?

Yes, Amazon S3 has recently introduced a feature called Storage Browser for S3 that allows you to add a user interface to your web applications for accessing data stored in S3. This tool enables authorized end-users to browse, download, and upload data directly from the application.

The Storage Browser for S3 is an open-source tool that provides functionality similar to what you've seen in the AWS Marketplace example. It includes features such as:

  1. Browsing S3 bucket contents
  2. Downloading files
  3. Uploading files
  4. Searching for files based on file name
  5. Copying and deleting data (for users with appropriate permissions)

However, it's important to note that the Storage Browser for S3 itself doesn't directly provide metered access or charging capabilities. To implement metered access and charge based on bytes transferred, you would need to combine this tool with other AWS services and custom development.

To set up metered access and charging for your S3 bucket, you might consider the following approach:

  1. Use the Storage Browser for S3 to provide a user-friendly interface for browsing and accessing your bucket contents.
  2. Implement custom logic to track data transfer and usage.
  3. Utilize AWS services like CloudWatch to monitor data transfer metrics.
  4. Implement a billing system, possibly using AWS Marketplace Metering Service or a custom solution, to charge users based on their usage.

Keep in mind that implementing a complete metered access and charging system would require additional development beyond just using the Storage Browser for S3. You'd need to carefully design your system to ensure accurate tracking and billing of data transfers.

While the Storage Browser for S3 provides a convenient way to allow users to browse and interact with your S3 bucket contents, the metering and charging aspects would need to be handled separately through custom development and integration with other AWS services.
