Near-constant download of uploaded stories content apparent in S3/AWS logs #30
Comments
As far as I can tell, the Repair AV workflow was causing this data transfer. My understanding of this problem is as follows:
For now, I have gone through the 24 un-transcoded videos in s3 and put the ids of those that are >= 1gb in size into a new txt file that the repair av script will reference and use to skip processing those videos. Ultimately, we'll need to compress and re-upload those particular videos. |
@mukeshchugani10 One change to the code that would help address issues like this in the future would be a modifications of the workflow script such that each time a video is processed successfully, the updated list of video ids is committed to the repo. As far as I can tell, this commit only happens after all of the videos have been processed, which ultimately was what caused this particular issue. We can set up a different ticket/workflow for handling very large (>1gb) video files, though, arguably, it would be better this size is never uploaded to s3 and we have some preprocessing, etc. Will figure that out with the next batch of uploads. |
Ultimately, I've addressed this by disabling the A/V repair workflow and handling transcoding locally instead. |
We have had a jump in our AWS bill over the last week, due to an unanticipated uptick in transfer out expenses, well beyond the free tier and well beyond normal usage of the site. I've put logging in AWS where I can, and, I believe, tracked this activity to GitHub node fetches. The timing of this seems to match up with when we uploaded a large number of files through the admin-upload process after a tabling event.
