Using Aws S3 for cache tiles for arcgis server.

Question

Hi, anyone faces the issue of unable to use their Aws S3 storage as their cache tiles directory?
I used arcmap to make the cache tiles with the cache tiles inside the Aws EBS.
Everything works fine, i'm able to load the cache tiles for my map service which i published 
and the arcgis server manager works fine.
However when i copied the cache tiles into my S3 bucket and changed the directory of the cache from EBS  to S3.
It doesn't seems to detect the map cache tiles. Anyone have ideas on what went wrong? Require assistance, thanks in advance.

Maybe investigate BUG-000106057 - I have had just had Esri "support" tell me this is my issue with our cache on S3 not working using export map or WMS calls (although it does work using rest tile calls through the JS API). It seems this doc saying it was addresses at 10.5.1 was premature. https://support.esri.com/en/download/7514

We tried switching to a key which our info sec guys aren't very happy with but that also failed.

Frustrating as now we are so far down the migration we will be swapping out to EBS storage at 10x the price - and we are talking 10-20TB.

I am just looking at setting up a bucket for image caches and I see the only document that talks about a policy is the cloud builder doc. Build an ArcGIS Server site on Amazon Web Services using Cloud Builder—ArcGIS Enterprise on AWS | ArcGIS Enterprise

In that they specify the action as "Action": "s3:*", perhaps that will help.

Cheers,

We're thinking of giving this a try with our cache as well.  A quick question for anyone who's tried; Does the tile cache need to be uploaded to S3 as an exploded cache, or can the service properly feed out the .bundle files of a compact cache as well?  Does anyone have any steps on how to set up a MapService to reference a cache hosted in S3?
