Proxy or throttling option for s3 storage?

MongoDB Percona Backup for MongoDB

Hi,

Is there a way to specify a proxy for pbm to use when backing up to s3 storage?

Or is there a built-in way to throttle / limit the bandwidth used when backing up? If not I’ll do it on the firewall but would be nice to do it at the pbm side

Thanks

I haven’t tried this myself, but according to Configuring the AWS SDK for Go - AWS SDK for Go (version 1) the SDK which is used by pbm for accessing s3 storage supports the HTTP_PROXY (and presumably HTTPS_PROXY) environment variable – have you tried that? Most linux commands will take proxy information from those variables.
