Background Infos

Description (long)	Show details This extension provides cloud storage connectivity for CKAN, specifically supporting Amazon S3 for storing uploaded resources. Features include: Amazon S3 cloud storage integration for resource files, AWS Key and AWS Secret Key authentication, configurable failover behavior (save locally on fail or raise exception), admin UI configuration interface under ‘Cloud connector’ tab, automatic dependency installation (boto library), cloud storage enable/disable toggle. The extension moves resource file storage from local filesystem to AWS S3 buckets, enabling scalable and distributed file storage. Developed for CKAN 2.2 and requires active AWS account with proper credentials. Configuration can be managed either via config file or through the admin settings interface.
