I need to archive, compress, and transfer a series of files Amazon Web Services - Simple Storage (AWS S3). A directory contains a large number of files with a group identifier embedded within each filename. For example, the directory contains a list of files like: file_red_00001.txt file_red_00002.txt file_blue_00001.txt file_blue_00002.txt file_green_00001.txt file_green_00002.txt ... Where the identifiers are blue, red and green. Using a Python script, I need to archive, compress, and transfer the files to AWS S3 by identifier. An example mapping from file to archive and AWS S3 buck/folder is shown below. Filenames Archive AWS location (bucket/folder) *red*.txt, red.tar.gz, bucket/red *blue*.txt, blue.tar.gz, bucket/blue *green*.txt, green.tar.gz, bucket/green Assumptions The developer can make the following assumptions: The script should be serial in that it should archive, compress and transfer one group of files before moving onto the second group The bucket is already created and available The folders within the bucket are not created. The script should create one folder per identifier Variables The script should include the following list of variables easily by the end user at the top of the Python script: Bucket name List of identifiers AWS credentials Compression format Suggested Tools I request the develop use the follow list of tools: Python 2.6.5 Boto library for Python ( /boto/boto) Desired Skills: Python, Amazon Web Services Keywords: Software Application, Service, Web, Amazon, Python
