Throttling S3 commands with aws cli

Question

I\'m running a backup script using AWS CLI to perform an S3 sync command every night on my MediaTemple server. This has run without fail for months, but I updated my Plesk insta

Answer 1

I ended up using Trickle and capping download & upload speeds at 20,000 kb/s. This let me use my existing script without much modification (all I had to do was add the trickle call to the beginning of the command).

Also, it looks like bandwidth throttling has been added as an issue to AWS CLI, so hopefully this will all be a non-issue for folks if that gets implemented.
