After reading this comparison between AWS S3 apis and Aliyun OSS apis https://www.alibabacloud.com/forum/read-148

I've been wondering for a while

  * does it mean if I use boto3 (python library for AWS), but with a different enpoint (which I know can be overrided as we do this for our CI tests) and only do basic operations (put content/get content) I do not have to switch to an other library ?
  * The comparison does not mention things like presigned url (in order to share private content for a limited amount of time), what is the situation on it for OSS?
  * Does Aliyun engineer works on closing the gap ?

As s3 is a very popular (if not the most) aws-specific service (compared to things like RDS which are transparent in your application code), at least for me, not having to change library in my code would be a big cost saver.


I haven't used this, but minio.io seems to be a nice open source S3 interface and implementation.
