The Klizer AWS S3 Integration Module provides seamless connectivity between Akeneo PIM and Amazon S3, allowing organizations to offload media assets from the Akeneo server to highly scalable, secure S3 storage.
Akeneo does not offer native support for AWS S3, so this custom extension introduces a complete, automated, and user-friendly solution. The module features a dedicated configuration UI within Akeneo, enabling users to set AWS credentials, bucket details, region, and prefixes without requiring manual configuration file edits.
Media uploads, imports, and previews are fully automated. Once configured, all new media files are instantly stored in S3, and Akeneo retrieves them in real time when needed. This significantly improves application performance, reduces server disk usage, and ensures consistent media management across all environments. This extension is ideal for businesses with large media libraries—such as fashion, home decor, furniture, lighting, and electronics—who require high performance, scalability, and centralized asset management.
Key Scenarios Considered:
- Multi-Environment Deployment (Dev/Stage/Prod) : Supports unique S3 buckets or prefixes per environment using environment variables.
- Non-Technical Users Managing AWS Settings : A user-friendly UI ensures configuration can be done without touching YAML or code.
- Automated Media Sync : All new media files are automatically uploaded to S3 with no manual file transfers.
- Security & Compliance Requirements : Supports AWS-managed encryption (SSE-S3, SSE-KMS) and IAM policies for secure access.
- Migrating Existing Media : Existing media stays in place initially—the module handles all new uploads, enabling controlled migration.
