Original File/Preservation Master
| Title (Goal) | Store a copy of Original File/Preservation Master on an external storage service |
|---|---|
| Primary Actor | Repository admin |
| Scope | architecture, preservation, storage |
| Level | Medium? |
| Story | As a repository administrator, I can store a copy of the Original File/Preservation Master on an external storage service, so that preservation standards can be met. |
Examples:
- Write the file to file to AWS.
- Write the file to a Compute Canada Swift storage
- Write the file to an external server via SFTP
Remarks:
- For inventory/tracking purposes, it would be useful to record the event, location, file, etc. and have that related to the originating node.
BagIt Bag
| Title (Goal) | Via a BagIt workflow, store the resulting BagIt bag on an external storage service |
|---|---|
| Primary Actor | Repository admin |
| Scope | workflow, preservation, storage |
| Level | Medium? |
| Story | As a repository administrator, I can trigger the generation of a BagIt bag on ingest, update, or by button and as part of the action store the bag on an external storage service, so that preservation standards can be met. |
CDN
| Title (Goal) | Deliver repository content via a content delivery network. |
|---|---|
| Primary Actor | Repository admin |
| Scope | architecture?, access, performance |
| Level | Medium? |
| Story | As a repository administrator, I can configure Islandora to utilize a content delivery network, so that the site is optimized for serving up content. |
Examples:
- "CDN":https://www.drupal.org/project/cdn ** "This module provides easy Content Delivery Network integration for Drupal sites. It changes file URLs, so that files (CSS, JS, images, fonts, videos …) are downloaded from a CDN instead of your web server."
- "CloudFlare":https://www.drupal.org/project/cloudflare ** "CloudFlare is a FREE reverse proxy, firewall, and global content delivery network and can be implemented without installing any server software or hardware." Currently an alpha version is provided.
Hey @dmoses,
Could you flesh this (I'm guessing use case) out a bit more please?
You want to deploy to the cloud? Store your content in the cloud? Who's cloud it is? Etc
