Six (6) rClone technical questions

Hello -

I have a customer that's considering getting rClone Duck as a replacement for TntDrive.

Could you provide answers to the following questions?

Does the product support:

  1. Amazon IAM user & role based access?

  2. Automatic file download, open, clean up?

  3. Atomic (all or nothing) transactions?

  4. Transfer acceleration from S3 to run cloud processes locally?

  5. Working with a VPC?

  6. Implementing local audit trail for each S3 bucket?

Thanks you in advance for any guidance.

Sincerely,
Don Woodward

Sorry that was a typo. I meant to just say rClone (I’m also looking at Mountain Duck).

Hello Don,

Welcome to the rclone forum.

Does rClone support:

  1. Amazon IAM user & role based access?

yes - please see: https://rclone.org/s3/#authentication

  1. Automatic file download, open, clean up?

rclone is a tool for primarily just moving the data but can achieve a lot with some extra scripting.

  1. Atomic (all or nothing) transactions?

Yes - files will be uploaded or they won't be (no halfway states)

  1. Transfer acceleration from S3 to run cloud processes locally?

it does support accelerated endpoints

  1. Working with a VPC?

yes

  1. Implementing local audit trail for each S3 bucket?

rclone has a variety of logging features you can use, once again you could achieve what you want with rclone and some scripting.

If you are wanting to use rclone on behalf of your company and need some help getting set up or you want to ask some more technical questions, it might be worth dropping us an email to sales@rclone.com and we can consult with you some more about your use case as part of a support contract
