### Configuration
435
444
436
-
**AppView configuration** (`config/config.yml`):
437
-
- S3 bucket settings under `storage.s3`
438
-
- ATProto middleware under `middleware.repository`
439
-
- Name resolver under `middleware.registry`
440
-
- Default storage endpoint: `middleware.registry.options.default_storage_endpoint`
441
-
- Auth token signing keys and expiration
442
-
- Database path: `db.path` (SQLite database location)
443
-
- Jetstream endpoint: `jetstream.endpoint` (for ATProto event streaming)
445
+
**AppView configuration** (environment variables):
446
+
447
+
Both AppView and Hold service follow the same pattern: **zero config files, all configuration via environment variables**.
448
+
449
+
See `.env.appview.example` for all available options. Key environment variables:
450
+
451
+
**Server:**
452
+
- `ATCR_HTTP_ADDR` - HTTP listen address (default: `:5000`)
453
+
- `ATCR_BASE_URL` - Public URL for OAuth/JWT realm (auto-detected in dev)
454
+
- `ATCR_DEFAULT_HOLD` - Default hold endpoint for blob storage (REQUIRED)
455
+
456
+
**Authentication:**
457
+
- `ATCR_AUTH_KEY_PATH` - JWT signing key path (default: `/var/lib/atcr/auth/private-key.pem`)
458
+
- `ATCR_TOKEN_EXPIRATION` - JWT expiration in seconds (default: 300)
459
+
460
+
**UI:**
461
+
- `ATCR_UI_ENABLED` - Enable web interface (default: true)
462
+
- `ATCR_UI_DATABASE_PATH` - SQLite database path (default: `/var/lib/atcr/ui.db`)
463
+
464
+
**Jetstream:**
465
+
- `JETSTREAM_URL` - ATProto event stream URL
466
+
- `ATCR_BACKFILL_ENABLED` - Enable periodic sync (default: false)
467
+
468
+
**Legacy:** `config/config.yml` is still supported but deprecated. Use environment variables instead.
444
469
445
470
**Hold Service configuration** (environment variables):
446
-
- Storage driver config via env vars: `STORAGE_DRIVER`, `AWS_*`, `S3_*`
447
-
- Authorization: Based on PDS records (`hold.public`, crew records)
448
-
- Server settings: `HOLD_SERVER_ADDR`, `HOLD_PUBLIC_URL`, `HOLD_PUBLIC`
449
-
- Auto-registration: `HOLD_OWNER` (optional)
471
+
472
+
See `.env.hold.example` for all available options. Key environment variables:
473
+
- `HOLD_PUBLIC_URL` - Public URL of hold service (REQUIRED)
474
+
- `STORAGE_DRIVER` - Storage backend (s3, filesystem)
475
+
- `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` - S3 credentials
476
+
- `S3_BUCKET`, `S3_ENDPOINT` - S3 configuration
477
+
- `HOLD_PUBLIC` - Allow public reads (default: false)
478
+
- `HOLD_OWNER` - DID for auto-registration (optional)
450
479
451
480
**Credential Helper**:
452
481
- Token storage: `~/.atcr/oauth-token.json`
453
482
- Contains: access token, refresh token, DPoP key (PEM), DID, handle
454
-
455
-
Environment variables:
456
-
- `ATPROTO_DID`: DID for authentication with PDS (AppView only)
457
-
- `ATPROTO_ACCESS_TOKEN`: Access token for PDS operations (AppView only)
458
483
459
484

## Performance Optimization: S3 Presigned URLs
475
+
476
+
**Status:** Planned implementation (see [PRESIGNED_URLS.md](./PRESIGNED_URLS.md))
477
+
478
+
Currently, hold services act as proxies for blob data. With presigned URLs:
479
+
480
+
- **Downloads:** Docker → S3 direct (via 307 redirect)
481
+
- **Uploads:** Docker → AppView → S3 (via presigned URL)
482
+
- **Hold service bandwidth:** Reduced by 99.98% (only orchestration)
483
+
484
+
**Benefits:**
485
+
- Hold services can run on minimal infrastructure ($5/month instances)
486
+
- Direct S3 transfers at maximum speed
487
+
- Scales to arbitrarily large images
488
+
- Works with Storj, MinIO, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2
489
+
490
+
See [PRESIGNED_URLS.md](./PRESIGNED_URLS.md) for complete technical details and implementation guide.

# S3 Presigned URLs Implementation
2
+
3
+
## Overview
4
+
5
+
Currently, ATCR's hold service acts as a proxy for all blob data, meaning every byte flows through the hold service when uploading or downloading container images. This document describes the implementation of **S3 presigned URLs** to eliminate this bottleneck, allowing direct data transfer between clients and S3-compatible storage.
6
+
7
+
### Current Architecture (Proxy Mode)
8
+
9
+
```
10
+
Downloads: Docker → AppView → Hold Service → S3 → Hold Service → AppView → Docker
11
+
Uploads: Docker → AppView → Hold Service → S3
12
+
```
13
+
14
+
**Problems:**
15
+
- All blob data flows through hold service
16
+
- Hold service bandwidth = total image bandwidth
17
+
- Latency from extra hops
18
+
- Hold service becomes bottleneck for large images
19
+
20
+
### Target Architecture (Presigned URLs)
21
+
22
+
```
23
+
Downloads: Docker → AppView (gets presigned URL) → S3 (direct download)
24
+
Uploads: Docker → AppView → S3 (via presigned URL)
25
+
Move: AppView → Hold Service → S3 (server-side CopyObject API)
26
+
```
27
+
28
+
**Benefits:**
29
+
- ✅ Hold service only orchestrates (no data transfer)
30
+
- ✅ Blob data never touches hold service
31
+
- ✅ Direct S3 uploads/downloads at wire speed
32
+
- ✅ Hold service can run on minimal resources
33
+
- ✅ Works with all S3-compatible services
34
+
35
+
## How Presigned URLs Work
36
+
37
+
### For Downloads (GET)
38
+
39
+
1. **Docker requests blob:** `GET /v2/alice/myapp/blobs/sha256:abc123`
40
+
2. **AppView asks hold service:** `POST /get-presigned-url`
41
+
```json
42
+
{"did": "did:plc:alice123", "digest": "sha256:abc123"}
43
+
```
44
+
3. **Hold service generates presigned URL:**
45
+
```go
46
+
req, _ := s3Client.GetObjectRequest(&s3.GetObjectInput{
47
+
Bucket: "my-bucket",
48
+
Key: "blobs/sha256/ab/abc123.../data",
49
+
})
50
+
url, _ := req.Presign(15 * time.Minute)
51
+
// Returns: https://gateway.storjshare.io/bucket/blobs/...?X-Amz-Signature=...
52
+
```
53
+
4. **AppView redirects Docker:** `HTTP 307 Location: <presigned-url>`
54
+
5. **Docker downloads directly from S3** using the presigned URL
55
+
56
+
**Data path:** Docker → S3 (direct)
57
+
**Hold service bandwidth:** ~1KB (API request/response)
58
+
59
+
### For Uploads (PUT)
60
+
61
+
**Small blobs (< 5MB) using Put():**
62
+
63
+
1. **Docker sends blob to AppView:** `PUT /v2/alice/myapp/blobs/uploads/{uuid}`
64
+
2. **AppView asks hold service:** `POST /put-presigned-url`
65
+
```json
66
+
{"did": "did:plc:alice123", "digest": "sha256:abc123", "size": 1024}
67
+
```
68
+
3. **Hold service generates presigned URL:**
69
+
```go
70
+
req, _ := s3Client.PutObjectRequest(&s3.PutObjectInput{
71
+
Bucket: "my-bucket",
72
+
Key: "blobs/sha256/ab/abc123.../data",
73
+
})
74
+
url, _ := req.Presign(15 * time.Minute)
75
+
```
76
+
4. **AppView uploads to S3** using presigned URL
77
+
5. **AppView confirms to Docker:** `201 Created`
78
+
79
+
**Data path:** Docker → AppView → S3 (via presigned URL)
80
+
**Hold service bandwidth:** ~1KB (API request/response)
81
+
82
+
### For Streaming Uploads (Create/Commit)
83
+
84
+
**Large blobs (> 5MB) using streaming:**
85
+
86
+
1. **Docker starts upload:** `POST /v2/alice/myapp/blobs/uploads/`
87
+
2. **AppView creates upload session** with UUID
88
+
3. **AppView gets presigned URL for temp location:**
89
+
```json
90
+
POST /put-presigned-url
91
+
{"did": "...", "digest": "uploads/temp-{uuid}", "size": 0}
92
+
```
93
+
4. **Docker streams data:** `PATCH /v2/alice/myapp/blobs/uploads/{uuid}`
94
+
5. **AppView streams to S3** using presigned URL to `uploads/temp-{uuid}/data`
95
+
6. **Docker finalizes:** `PUT /v2/.../uploads/{uuid}?digest=sha256:abc123`
96
+
7. **AppView requests move:** `POST /move?from=uploads/temp-{uuid}&to=sha256:abc123`
97
+
8. **Hold service executes S3 server-side copy:**
98
+
```go
99
+
s3.CopyObject(&s3.CopyObjectInput{
100
+
Bucket: "my-bucket",
101
+
CopySource: "/my-bucket/uploads/temp-{uuid}/data",
102
+
Key: "blobs/sha256/ab/abc123.../data",
103
+
})
104
+
s3.DeleteObject(&s3.DeleteObjectInput{
105
+
Key: "uploads/temp-{uuid}/data",
106
+
})
107
+
```
108
+
109
+
**Data path:** Docker → AppView → S3 (temp location)
110
+
**Move path:** S3 internal copy (no data transfer!)
111
+
**Hold service bandwidth:** ~2KB (presigned URL + CopyObject API)
112
+
113
+
## Why the Temp → Final Move is Required
114
+
115
+
This is **not an ATCR implementation detail** — it's required by the [OCI Distribution Specification](https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec/blob/main/spec.md#push).
116
+
117
+
### The Problem: Unknown Digest
118
+
119
+
Docker doesn't know the blob's digest until **after** uploading:
120
+
121
+
1. **Streaming data:** Can't buffer 5GB layer in memory to calculate digest first
122
+
2. **Stdin pipes:** `docker build . | docker push` generates data on-the-fly
123
+
3. **Chunked uploads:** Multiple PATCH requests, digest calculated as data streams
124
+
125
+
### The Solution: Upload to Temp, Verify, Move
126
+
127
+
**All OCI registries do this:**
128
+
129
+
1. Client: `POST /v2/{name}/blobs/uploads/` → Get upload UUID
130
+
2. Client: `PATCH /v2/{name}/blobs/uploads/{uuid}` → Stream data to temp location
131
+
3. Client: `PUT /v2/{name}/blobs/uploads/{uuid}?digest=sha256:abc` → Provide digest
132
+
4. Registry: Verify digest matches uploaded data
133
+
5. Registry: Move `uploads/{uuid}` → `blobs/sha256/abc123...`
134
+
135
+
**Docker Hub, GHCR, ECR, Harbor — all use this pattern.**
136
+
137
+
### Why It's Efficient with S3
138
+
139
+
**For S3, the move is a CopyObject API call:**
140
+
141
+
```go
142
+
// This happens INSIDE S3 servers - no data transfer!
143
+
s3.CopyObject(&s3.CopyObjectInput{
144
+
Bucket: "my-bucket",
145
+
CopySource: "/my-bucket/uploads/temp-12345/data", // 5GB blob
146
+
Key: "blobs/sha256/ab/abc123.../data",
147
+
})
148
+
// S3 copies internally, hold service only sends ~1KB API request
149
+
```
150
+
151
+
**For a 5GB layer:**
152
+
- Hold service bandwidth: **~1KB** (API request/response)
153
+
- S3 internal copy: Instant (metadata operation on S3 side)
154
+
- No data leaves S3, no network transfer
155
+
156
+
This is why the move operation is essentially free!
157
+
158
+
## Implementation Details
159
+
160
+
### 1. Add S3 Client to Hold Service
161
+
162
+
**File: `cmd/hold/main.go`**
163
+
164
+
Modify `HoldService` struct:
165
+
```go
166
+
type HoldService struct {
167
+
driver storagedriver.StorageDriver
168
+
config *Config
169
+
s3Client *s3.S3 // NEW: S3 client for presigned URLs
170
+
bucket string // NEW: Bucket name
171
+
s3PathPrefix string // NEW: Path prefix (if any)
172
+
}
173
+
```
174
+
175
+
Add initialization function:
176
+
```go
177
+
func (s *HoldService) initS3Client() error {
178
+
if s.config.Storage.Type() != "s3" {
179
+
log.Printf("Storage driver is %s (not S3), presigned URLs disabled", s.config.Storage.Type())
180
+
return nil
181
+
}
182
+
183
+
params := s.config.Storage.Parameters()["s3"].(configuration.Parameters)
184
+
185
+
// Build AWS config
186
+
awsConfig := &aws.Config{
187
+
Region: aws.String(params["region"].(string)),
188
+
Credentials: credentials.NewStaticCredentials(
189
+
params["accesskey"].(string),
190
+
params["secretkey"].(string),
191
+
"",
192
+
),
193
+
}
194
+
195
+
// Add custom endpoint for S3-compatible services (Storj, MinIO, etc.)
196
+
if endpoint, ok := params["regionendpoint"].(string); ok && endpoint != "" {
197
+
awsConfig.Endpoint = aws.String(endpoint)
198
+
awsConfig.S3ForcePathStyle = aws.Bool(true) // Required for MinIO, Storj
199
+
}
200
+
201
+
sess, err := session.NewSession(awsConfig)
202
+
if err != nil {
203
+
return fmt.Errorf("failed to create AWS session: %w", err)
204
+
}
205
+
206
+
s.s3Client = s3.New(sess)
207
+
s.bucket = params["bucket"].(string)
208
+
209
+
log.Printf("S3 presigned URLs enabled for bucket: %s", s.bucket)
210
+
return nil
211
+
}
212
+
```
213
+
214
+
Call during service initialization:
215
+
```go
216
+
func NewHoldService(cfg *Config) (*HoldService, error) {
217
+
// ... existing driver creation ...
218
+
219
+
service := &HoldService{
220
+
driver: driver,
221
+
config: cfg,
222
+
}
223
+
224
+
// Initialize S3 client for presigned URLs
225
+
if err := service.initS3Client(); err != nil {
226
+
log.Printf("WARNING: S3 presigned URLs disabled: %v", err)
227
+
}
228
+
229
+
return service, nil
230
+
}
231
+
```
232
+
233
+
### 2. Implement Presigned URL Generation
234
+
235
+
**For Downloads:**
236
+
237
+
```go
238
+
func (s *HoldService) getDownloadURL(ctx context.Context, digest string, did string) (string, error) {
239
+
path := blobPath(digest)
240
+
241
+
// Check if blob exists
242
+
if _, err := s.driver.Stat(ctx, path); err != nil {
243
+
return "", fmt.Errorf("blob not found: %w", err)
244
+
}
245
+
246

})
288
+
289
+
url, err := req.Presign(15 * time.Minute)
290
+
if err != nil {
291
+
log.Printf("WARN: Presigned URL generation failed, falling back to proxy: %v", err)
292
+
return s.getProxyUploadURL(digest, did), nil
293
+
}
294
+
295
+
log.Printf("Generated presigned upload URL for %s (expires in 15min)", digest)
296
+
return url, nil
297
+
}
298
+
299
+
// Fallback: return proxy URL
300
+
return s.getProxyUploadURL(digest, did), nil
301
+
}
302
+
303
+
func (s *HoldService) getProxyUploadURL(digest, did string) string {
304
+
return fmt.Sprintf("%s/blobs/%s?did=%s", s.config.Server.PublicURL, digest, did)
305
+
}
306
+
```
307
+
308
+
### 3. No Changes Needed for Move Operation
309
+
310
+
The existing `/move` endpoint already uses `driver.Move()`, which for S3:
311
+
- Calls `s3.CopyObject()` (server-side copy)
312
+
- Calls `s3.DeleteObject()` (delete source)
313
+
- No data transfer through hold service!
314
+
315
+
**File: `cmd/hold/main.go:296` (already exists, no changes needed)**
316
+
317
+
```go
318
+
func (s *HoldService) HandleMove(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
319
+
// ... existing auth and parsing ...
320
+
321
+
sourcePath := blobPath(fromPath) // uploads/temp-{uuid}/data
322
+
destPath := blobPath(toDigest) // blobs/sha256/ab/abc123.../data
323
+
324
+
// For S3, this does CopyObject + DeleteObject (server-side)
325
+
if err := s.driver.Move(ctx, sourcePath, destPath); err != nil {
326
+
// ... error handling ...
327
+
}
328
+
}
329
+
```
330
+
331
+
### 4. AppView Changes (Optional Optimization)
332
+
333
+
**File: `pkg/storage/proxy_blob_store.go:228`**
334
+
335
+
Currently streams to hold service proxy URL. Could be optimized to use presigned URL:
336
+
337
+
```go
338
+
// In Create() - line 228
339
+
go func() {
340
+
defer pipeReader.Close()
341
+
342
+
tempPath := fmt.Sprintf("uploads/temp-%s", writer.id)
343
+
344
+
// Try to get presigned URL for temp location
345
+
url, err := p.getUploadURL(ctx, digest.FromString(tempPath), 0)
346
+
if err != nil {
347
+
// Fallback to direct proxy URL
348
+
url = fmt.Sprintf("%s/blobs/%s?did=%s", p.storageEndpoint, tempPath, p.did)
349
+
}
350
+
351
+
req, err := http.NewRequestWithContext(uploadCtx, "PUT", url, pipeReader)
352
+
// ... rest unchanged
353
+
}()
354
+
```
355
+
356
+
**Note:** This optimization is optional. The presigned URL will be returned by hold service's `getUploadURL()` anyway.
357
+

+

**All these services support presigned URLs with AWS SDK v1!**
411
+
412
+
## Performance Impact
413
+
414
+
### Bandwidth Savings
415
+
416
+
**Before (proxy mode):**
417
+
- 5GB layer upload: Hold service receives 5GB, sends 5GB to S3 = **10GB** bandwidth
418
+
- 5GB layer download: S3 sends 5GB to hold, hold sends 5GB to client = **10GB** bandwidth
419
+
- **Total for push+pull: 20GB hold service bandwidth**
420
+
421
+
**After (presigned URLs):**
422
+
- 5GB layer upload: Hold generates URL (1KB), AppView → S3 direct (5GB), CopyObject API (1KB) = **~2KB** hold bandwidth
423
+
- 5GB layer download: Hold generates URL (1KB), client → S3 direct = **~1KB** hold bandwidth
424
+
- **Total for push+pull: ~3KB hold service bandwidth**
425
+
426
+
**Savings: 99.98% reduction in hold service bandwidth!**
427
+
428
+
### Latency Improvements
429
+
430
+
**Before:**
431
+
- Download: Client → AppView → Hold → S3 → Hold → AppView → Client (4 hops)
432
+
- Upload: Client → AppView → Hold → S3 (3 hops)
433
+
434
+
**After:**
435
+
- Download: Client → AppView (redirect) → S3 (1 hop to data)
436
+
- Upload: Client → AppView → S3 (2 hops)
437
+
- Move: S3 internal (no network hops)
438
+
439
+
### Resource Requirements
440
+
441
+
**Before:**
442
+
- Hold service needs bandwidth = sum of all image operations
443
+
- For 100 concurrent 1GB pushes: 100GB/s bandwidth needed
444
+
- Expensive, hard to scale
445
+
446
+
**After:**
447
+
- Hold service needs minimal CPU for presigned URL signing
448
+
- For 100 concurrent 1GB pushes: ~100KB/s bandwidth needed (API traffic)
449
+
- Can run on $5/month instance!
450
+
451
+
## Security Considerations
452
+
453
+
### Presigned URL Expiration
454
+
455
+
- Default: **15 minutes** expiration
456
+
- Presigned URL includes embedded credentials in query params
457
+
- After expiry, URL becomes invalid (S3 rejects with 403)
458
+
- No long-lived URLs floating around
459
+
460
+
### Authorization Flow
461
+
462
+
1. **AppView validates user** via ATProto OAuth
463
+
2. **AppView passes DID to hold service** in presigned URL request
464
+
3. **Hold service validates DID** (owner or crew member)
465
+
4. **Hold service generates presigned URL** if authorized
466
+
5. **Client uses presigned URL** directly with S3
467
+
468
+
**Security boundary:** Hold service controls who gets presigned URLs, S3 validates the URLs.
469
+
470
+
### Fallback Security
471
+
472
+
If presigned URL generation fails:
473
+
- Falls back to proxy URLs (existing behavior)
474
+
- Still requires hold service authorization
475
+
- Data flows through hold service (original security model)
476
+
477
+
## Testing & Validation
478
+
479
+
### Verify Presigned URLs are Used
480
+
481
+
**1. Check hold service logs:**
482
+
```bash
483
+
docker logs atcr-hold | grep -i presigned
484
+
# Should see: "Generated presigned download/upload URL for sha256:..."
485
+
```
486
+
487
+
**2. Monitor network traffic:**
488
+
```bash
489
+
# Before: Large data transfers to/from hold service
490
+
docker stats atcr-hold
491
+
492
+
# After: Minimal network usage on hold service
493
+
docker stats atcr-hold
494
+
```
495
+
496
+
**3. Inspect redirect responses:**
497
+
```bash
498
+
# Should see 307 redirect to S3 URL
499
+
curl -v http://appview:5000/v2/alice/myapp/blobs/sha256:abc123 \
500
+
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
501
+
502
+
# Look for:
503
+
# < HTTP/1.1 307 Temporary Redirect
504
+
# < Location: https://gateway.storjshare.io/...?X-Amz-Signature=...
505
+
```
506
+
507
+
### Test Fallback Behavior
508
+
509
+
**1. With filesystem driver (should use proxy URLs):**
510
+
```bash
511
+
STORAGE_DRIVER=filesystem docker-compose up atcr-hold
512
+
# Logs should show: "Storage driver is filesystem (not S3), presigned URLs disabled"
513
+
```
514
+
515
+
**2. With S3 but invalid credentials (should fall back):**
516
+
```bash
517
+
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=invalid docker-compose up atcr-hold
518
+
# Logs should show: "WARN: Presigned URL generation failed, falling back to proxy"
519
+
```
520
+
521
+
### Bandwidth Monitoring
522
+
523
+
**Track hold service bandwidth over time:**
524
+
```bash
525
+
# Install bandwidth monitoring
526
+
docker exec atcr-hold apt-get update && apt-get install -y vnstat
527
+
528
+
# Monitor
529
+
docker exec atcr-hold vnstat -l
530
+
```
531
+
532
+
**Expected results:**
533
+
- Before: Bandwidth correlates with image operations
534
+
- After: Bandwidth stays minimal regardless of image operations
535
+
536
+
## Migration Guide
537
+
538
+
### For Existing ATCR Deployments
539
+
540
+
**1. Update hold service code** (this implementation)
541
+
542
+
**2. No configuration changes needed** if already using S3:
543
+
```bash
544
+
# Existing S3 config works automatically
545
+
STORAGE_DRIVER=s3
546
+
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
547
+
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
548
+
S3_BUCKET=...
549
+
S3_ENDPOINT=...
550
+
```
551
+
552
+
**3. Restart hold service:**
553
+
```bash
554
+
docker-compose restart atcr-hold
555
+
```
556
+
557
+
**4. Verify in logs:**
558
+
```
559
+
S3 presigned URLs enabled for bucket: my-bucket
560
+
```
561
+
562
+
**5. Test with image push/pull:**
563
+
```bash
564
+
docker push atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest
565
+
docker pull atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest
566
+
```
567
+
568
+
**6. Monitor bandwidth** to confirm reduction
569
+
570
+
### Rollback Plan
571
+
572
+
If issues arise:
573
+
574
+
**Option 1: Disable presigned URLs via env var** (if we add this feature)
575
+
```bash
576
+
PRESIGNED_URLS_ENABLED=false docker-compose restart atcr-hold
577
+
```
578
+
579
+
**Option 2: Revert code changes** to previous hold service version
580
+
581
+
The implementation has automatic fallbacks, so partial failures won't break functionality.
582
+
583
+
## Future Enhancements
584
+
585
+
### 1. Configurable Expiration
586
+
587
+
Allow customizing presigned URL expiry:
588
+
```bash
589
+
PRESIGNED_URL_EXPIRY=30m # Default: 15m
590
+
```
591
+
592
+
### 2. Presigned URL Caching
593
+
594
+
Cache presigned URLs for frequently accessed blobs (with shorter TTL).
595
+
596
+
### 3. CloudFront/CDN Integration
597
+
598
+
For downloads, use CloudFront presigned URLs instead of direct S3:
599
+
- Better global distribution
600
+
- Lower egress costs
601
+
- Faster downloads
602
+
603
+
### 4. Multipart Upload Support
604
+
605
+
For very large layers (>5GB), use presigned URLs with multipart upload:
606
+
- Generate presigned URLs for each part
607
+
- Client uploads parts directly to S3
608
+
- Hold service finalizes multipart upload
609
+
610
+
### 5. Metrics & Monitoring
611
+
612
+
Track presigned URL usage:
613
+
- Count of presigned URLs generated
614
+
- Fallback rate (proxy vs presigned)
615
+
- Bandwidth savings metrics
616
+
617
+

## Summary
627
+
628
+
Implementing S3 presigned URLs transforms ATCR's hold service from a **data proxy** to a **lightweight orchestrator**:
629
+
630
+
✅ **99.98% bandwidth reduction** for hold service
631
+
✅ **Direct client → S3 transfers** for maximum speed
632
+
✅ **Works with all S3-compatible services** (Storj, MinIO, R2, B2)
633
+
✅ **OCI-compliant** temp → final move pattern
634
+
✅ **Automatic fallback** to proxy mode for non-S3 drivers
635
+
✅ **No breaking changes** to existing deployments
636
+
637
+
This makes BYOS (Bring Your Own Storage) truly scalable and cost-effective, as users can run hold services on minimal infrastructure while serving arbitrarily large container images.
