# S3 Compatibility Matrix

**Use this when:** writing or checking a user-facing S3 compatibility claim, or moving a Ceph s3tests case between lists.
**Source of truth:** the test lists under `scripts/s3-tests/` and the runner `scripts/s3-tests/run.sh`; counts are derived from those files and are not recorded here.

## Current Claim

RustFS provides broad S3 API compatibility for supported features. It does not claim complete coverage of every standard or vendor-specific S3 behavior. The root README uses the same wording: supported S3-compatible clients and features are covered by the compatibility matrix and test lists.

## Test List Sources

| List | Purpose | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Implemented tests | Standard S3 tests expected to pass; the default local s3tests run. | `scripts/s3-tests/implemented_tests.txt` |
| Lifecycle behavior tests | Days-based expiration cases gated by the `s3-lifecycle-behavior-tests` lane in `.github/workflows/ci.yml`. | `scripts/s3-tests/lifecycle_behavior_tests.txt` |
| Unimplemented tests | Standard S3 features not yet passing. | `scripts/s3-tests/unimplemented_tests.txt` |
| Excluded tests | Vendor-specific or intentionally unsupported behavior excluded from RustFS gating. | `scripts/s3-tests/excluded_tests.txt` |

Counts ignore blank lines and comments; compute them from the files. The lifecycle lane runs separately because its cases need `RUSTFS_ILM_DEBUG_DAY_SECS` and an enabled scanner, and a global debug day would also shrink the `x-amz-expiration` header asserted by `test_lifecycle_expiration_header_*`; see `IMPLEMENTED_TESTS_FILE` in `scripts/s3-tests/run.sh`.

## Supported Coverage

| Area | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Bucket create/delete/list/head | Supported | `implemented_tests.txt` |
| Object put/get/delete/copy/head | Supported | `implemented_tests.txt` |
| CopyObject checksums (CRC32, CRC32C, CRC64NVME, SHA1, SHA256, MD5, SHA512, XXHASH3, XXHASH64, XXHASH128), including source preservation and explicit override | Supported | `crates/e2e_test/src/copy_object_checksum_test.rs` |
| ListObjects/ListObjectsV2 prefix, delimiter, marker, max-keys | Supported | `implemented_tests.txt` |
| Multipart upload create/upload/complete/abort and selected multipart copy/checksum/object-attribute behavior | Supported | `implemented_tests.txt` |
| Bucket and object tagging | Supported | `implemented_tests.txt` |
| Bucket policy put/get/delete | Supported | `implemented_tests.txt` |
| Public access block put/get/delete | Supported | `implemented_tests.txt` |
| Presigned GET and PUT URLs | Supported | `implemented_tests.txt` |
| Range and conditional reads | Supported | `implemented_tests.txt` |
| User metadata | Supported | `implemented_tests.txt` |
| SSE-C and selected SSE-KMS edge cases | Supported | `implemented_tests.txt` |
| Selected versioning, object-lock, checksum, CORS, raw request, and conditional write behavior | Supported | `implemented_tests.txt` |

"Supported" for the SSE row means RustFS encrypts and decrypts its own objects. MinIO SSE objects (SSE-S3, SSE-KMS, SSE-C) are not readable in default builds; see [minio-file-format-compat.md Part C](minio-file-format-compat.md#part-c--server-side-encryption-sse) for the `rio-v2` migration build.

## Not Yet Passing

Standard S3 areas that must not be described as complete:

| Area | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Bucket access logging | Handlers exist (`get_bucket_logging`, `put_bucket_logging` in `rustfs/src/storage/ecfs.rs`); the `test_*bucket_logging*` s3tests cases are still listed as unimplemented | `unimplemented_tests.txt` |
| POST Object form upload checksum handling | Not yet passing | `unimplemented_tests.txt` |
| Bucket ownership controls | No handler | `unimplemented_tests.txt` |
| Multipart upload listing and part lookup compatibility edge cases | Not part of default gate | `excluded_tests.txt` |
| IAM-account or multi-storage-class dependent cases | Not part of default gate | `unimplemented_tests.txt` |
| Tenanted bucket policy edge cases | Needs investigation | `unimplemented_tests.txt` |

## Intentional Exclusions

`excluded_tests.txt` holds tests that must not block the compatibility gate: vendor-specific or non-portable behavior, and intentionally unsupported product behavior such as ACL authorization.

## Update Rule

When a feature starts passing, move its test entries from `unimplemented_tests.txt` to `implemented_tests.txt` and update the row here in the same PR. Do not change README wording beyond the supported coverage. Handler-level status (missing, stubbed, or diverging endpoints) is tracked in [minio-rustfs-router-compatibility.md](minio-rustfs-router-compatibility.md).
