CerteroX Cloud Management will scan accessible AWS S3 buckets for duplicate files. A tile at the top of the Optimization Insights screen shows the total size of discovered duplicate files during the last scan. Another tile shows estimated possible monthly savings if the duplication is remediated, and contains a link to the S3 Duplicate Finder screen:

Once on the S3 Duplicate Finder screen you can initiate a scan using the Actions menu, using the resulting dialog box to define which buckets to include, and specifying a minimum file size.

Once a scan is defined it will be shown in the list of scans in the table on the main screen. Clicking on a completed scan will open the results heat map:

Heat map squares (above) show the results of a duplicates check between every possible S3 bucket pair in scope of the scan, with the color and position of squares and rows indicating the severity of duplication and extent of estimated possible savings.

Clicking on a square show a results blade:

  • The possible savings.

  • A link to download the list of duplicate objects.
