How can I limit traffic to S3 to 750Mbps?

Post by unsichtbarre »

I have a SOBR with the capacity tier set to Wasabi S3 and using a gateway server to access Wasabi
VBR Server: 192.168.100.100
Gateway Server 192.168.100.200

My issue is that I have 1GbE/10GbE "burstable" and I need to keep the 95th percentile under 1Gbps or face extra cost. Will a Network Traffic Rule with Source = 192.168.100.100 and Destination = 192.168.100.200 do the trick?

How can I effectively limit my traffic to Wasabi S3?

THX,

Hi John

Have you tried it with the internet rule?

Hello,
As Fabian corrected mentioned, either you use the Internet rule to filter all your traffic going to the Internet, in this case, Wasabi as well. Or you can try with the Wasabi endpoints only - https://wasabi-support.zendesk.com/hc/e ... e-regions-

With the caveat that every FQDN usually will have multiple IPs, so you will need to do a bit more work, like a nslookup, to see how many IPs each endpoint has:

I did this very same scenario on a few Customers offloading to AWS S3, and it worked perfectly fine. AWS has a JSON with all these endpoints and IPs :) so it is easier.

Good luck, keep us posted.

Thanks Mildur and jorgedlcruz!

I would like to use the Veeam Internet rule in this case to limit traffic flow (Mildur suggestion), will this be equally applicable since I use a Gateway Server?

I will use the AWS JSON suggested by jorgedlcruz to whitelist the endpoint IPs.
