[OOTB-hive] Amazon storage assistance

[Jeff Potts]

I had problems with the alfresco-cloud-store add-on for one of my clients
that had a similar need to move a lot of data to Alfresco on AWS. The
client had some very large files and those were frequently getting hung up
as they were being transferred from local storage to S3. The client ended
up dropping the S3 requirement and just paying for standard storage.

So before you commit to Alfresco CE on S3, you should obviously do a lot of
testing using realistic use cases and data sizes/volumes.
