# How to Connect PeaSoup S3 to Fastly

Follow these steps to configure your Fastly service to deliver content stored on PeaSoup S3. Since PeaSoup provides an S3-compatible API, you can configure it similarly to Amazon S3 as an origin for content delivery via Fastly’s CDN.

## Prerequisites

- **PeaSoup S3 Access**: Ensure you have the following details:
  - Access key
  - Secret key
  - Bucket name
  - PeaSoup S3 endpoint URL https://**s3.eu-west-1.peasoup.cloud**
- **Fastly Account** with CDN services enabled.

## Steps to Connect PeaSoup S3 to Fastly

1. **Log into Fastly Dashboard**:
   - Go to the [Fastly Dashboard](https://manage.fastly.com/) and log in using your Fastly account credentials.
2. **Create a New Fastly Service**:
   - From the Fastly dashboard, click *Create Service* to start setting up a new CDN service for delivering content from PeaSoup S3.
   - Choose your service domain and set up your configurations.
3. **Configure PeaSoup S3 as an Origin**:
   - In the **Origins** tab of your service configuration, click *Add a new origin*.
   - Provide the following details to set up PeaSoup S3 as an origin:
     - **Address**: Enter the PeaSoup S3 endpoint https://**s3.eu-west-1.peasoup.cloud**
     - **Host**: Enter the full bucket name URL, such as `your-bucket.`s3.eu-west-1.peasoup.cloud
     - **Origin Shield**: Enable if needed for performance optimization, choosing the shield location closest to your users.
   - Click *Save* to add PeaSoup S3 as an origin server.
4. **Configure Headers for Authentication** (Optional):
   - If PeaSoup S3 requires authentication for access, set up custom headers for access key and secret key authentication.
     - Go to *Headers* in the Fastly configuration and click *Add a header*.
     - In the header configuration, enter the following:
       - **Name**: `Authorization`
       - **Value**: Use your access key and secret key in the following format: `Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_KEY:YOUR_SECRET_KEY`
5. **Configure Caching Rules**:
   - Navigate to the *Caching* settings in Fastly and configure cache control rules for the content delivered from PeaSoup S3.
   - You can set different cache durations for static files (e.g., images, CSS, JavaScript) and dynamic content.
6. **Set up Custom VCL (Optional)**:
   - If you need more advanced control over how Fastly interacts with PeaSoup S3, you can edit the VCL (Varnish Configuration Language) directly.
   - Go to the *VCL* section in Fastly and add custom VCL code to modify request and response handling for PeaSoup S3.
   - Here’s an example of a custom VCL snippet to handle S3-compatible requests:sub vcl_recv { if (req.url ~ "^/your-s3-bucket") { set req.backend = your_s3_backend; } }
7. **Test the Integration**:
   - Once PeaSoup S3 is configured as an origin, deploy the changes and test accessing your content through Fastly to ensure everything is working correctly.
   - Verify that content from PeaSoup S3 is being cached and delivered properly through Fastly’s CDN.

## Notes

- Ensure that PeaSoup S3 is accessible over the internet and that appropriate permissions are set for Fastly to access the bucket content.
- Fastly allows flexible integration with S3-compatible storage, including PeaSoup S3, to enhance content delivery with caching and performance optimization.
