This requires maintaining and AWS S3 bucket for the wiki images, and granting the wiki EC2 instance access to the bucket.

Once this is in place and the extension is configured in LocalSettings.php. The extension also requires registration in composer.local.json followed by composer update.

  • AWS S3, which works with the Mediawiki S3 extension.
  • Amazon EFS and EBS.
    • EFS is scalable physical storage which can be shared among multiple EC2 instances.
    • EBS is physical storage that is linked typically to a single EC2 instance.
