Retrieving the size of s3 bucket

Categories: amazon

Here is my notes on how to retrieve the size of a bucket.

Install the program s3cmd

sudo apt-get isntall s3cmd

Run the below command to specify your amazon key and secret

s3cmd --configure

Lets say we have a bucket ‘mybucket’. To actually get the size,use this command

s3cmd du -H s3://mybucket
