- What -- A tool that allows a user to visualize which buckets (and parts of buckets) are using the most data storage.
- Why -- Because I'm trying to pare down my S3 bill, and the S3 control panels (even CloudWatch) do not really provide anything similar.
- Inspiration -- This script is meant to be like the
dutool for linux, except for inspecting the disk usage of s3 buckets. - How -- It will traverse s3 buckets and provide high level disk usage information to stdout.
% python3 du.py --help
usage: du.py [-h] [-b BUCKET] [-p PROFILE] [-d DEPTH] [-di DIR]
This script is meant to be like the `du` tool for linux, except for inspecting
the disk usage of s3 buckets. It will traverse s3 buckets and provide high
level disk usage information to stdout.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-b BUCKET, --bucket BUCKET
Bucket to examine (ex: 'com.owocki.assets')
-p PROFILE, --profile PROFILE
AWS credentials profile name (default: 'default')
-d DEPTH, --depth DEPTH
Depth to examine bucket (ex: 4)
-di DIR, --dir DIR Directory to examine (ex: 'logs/')% python3 du.py --depth=1 --bucket=BUCKETNAME --profile=mytestaccount

- Install python3 (if needed) and boto3 (if needed).
- To install python3, instructions differ depending upon your OS. Using Homebrew is probably the easiest (
brew install python3), or here are some instructions for Mac OS X - To install boto3,
pip install -r requirements.txt
- To install python3, instructions differ depending upon your OS. Using Homebrew is probably the easiest (
- Run
du.pywith the usage described above.
This script can run a little slow on larger buckets. Thats okay; This is a limitation inherent to the way this information is provided via AWS APIs. Pipe du.py's' output to a file (perhaps inside of a screen or tmux) and come back later.
