A data team wants to keep its corpora, transformations and experiment outputs in shared storage so it can find the right versions and prepare new workloads without multiplying scattered copies across individual environments.
In this illustrative scenario, a team develops models using images, documents or structured data. Datasets evolve through cleaning, annotation and enrichment. Computing environments change from one project to another, while the corpora need to remain identifiable, accessible and documented over time so teams can return to them for further work.
Local copies multiply, and relationships between source data, prepared versions and experiments become difficult to track. Some transfers are repeated unnecessarily. The team also needs to check whether access performance suits the workloads it intends to run from its computing environments.
Define an organisation for corpora and outputs using version conventions, manifests and the metadata needed to connect each experiment to the specific data it uses.
Test S3 access from preparation tools and computing environments, then measure read performance, transfers and batch behaviour using representative data and workloads from the team's projects.
Gradually introduce the chosen structure, document access rights and agree rules with the team for retention, useful duplication and removal of files that are no longer needed.
The baseline and objectives are defined during scoping, then compared with pilot results.

An infrastructure team wants to move its S3 objects to storage in France, make recurring costs clearer and plan a gradual migration that accounts for the dependencies of its applications.

A studio accumulates footage, masters and versions faster than it can organise them. It wants to preserve this material for future edits while freeing up the storage used for active production work.
