As always we are trying to stay on top of the new functionality offered by Amazon S3 to offer the most compelling Amazon S3 and CloudFront client on Windows platform.

Notification of Lost Objects is a new feature that enables users to have notifications sent to an Amazon Simple Notification Service. Amazon S3 is now integrated with Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS). You can configure your bucket to send a notification, via SNS, when an RRS object in that bucket is lost.(Check out here on how to enable RRS using CloudBerry Explorer). Notifications are enabled on a bucket level similar to the server logging and versioning.

Newer release of CloudBerry Explorer allows you to turn on notification of lost objects, retrieve current notification settings for a bucket and disable notification, all using convenient user interface.

The new option can be found in the bucket level context menu.

It opens up a dialog that combines other RRS related options.

Discussion of Amazon Simple Notification Service is outside of the scope of this article and doesn’t fall into the area of CloudBerry Lab expertise. You can learn more about this service here. You can create a Topic using a Command Line Interface Tool for Amazon Simple Notification Service. The description of the tool is available here http://awsdocs.s3.amazonaws.com/SNS/latest/sns-gsg.pdf

As always we would be happy to hear your feedback and you are welcome to post a comment.
