The Tiered Storage offloading mechanism takes advantage of this segment
oriented architecture. When offloading is requested, the segments of the log
are copied, one-by-one, to tiered storage. All segments of the log, apart from
the segment currently being written to can be offloaded.
-## Amazon S3

-Tiered storage currently supports S3 for long term storage. On the broker, the
administrator must configure a S3 bucket and the AWS region where the bucket
exists. Offloaded data will be placed into this bucket.
+On the broker, the administrator must configure the bucket or credentials for
the cloud storage service. The configured bucket must exist before attempting
to offload. If it does not exist, the offload operation will fail.
-The configured S3 bucket must exist before attempting to offload. If it does
not exist, the offload operation will fail.
+Pulsar uses multi-part objects to upload the segment data. It is possible that
a broker could crash while uploading the data. We recommend you add a life
cycle rule your bucket to expire incomplete multi-part upload after a day or
two to avoid getting charged for incomplete uploads.

-### Configuring the broker
+## Configuring the driver for "aws-s3" or "google-cloud-storage" in the broker
Offloading is configured in ```broker.conf```.
-At a minimum, the user must configure the driver, the region and the bucket.
+At a minimum, the administrator must configure the driver, the bucket and the
authenticating. There is also some other knobs to configure, like the bucket
regions, the max block size in backed storage, etc.
+
+Currently we support driver of types: { "aws-s3", "google-cloud-storage" },
+{% include admonition.html type="warning" content="Driver names are
case-insensitive for driver's name. "s3" and "aws-s3" are similar, with
"aws-s3" you just don't need to define the url of the endpoint because it is
aligned with region, and default is `s3.amazonaws.com`; while with s3, you must
provide the endpoint url by `s3ManagedLedgerOffloadServiceEndpoint`." %}
```conf
-managedLedgerOffloadDriver=S3
-s3ManagedLedgerOffloadRegion=eu-west-3
-s3ManagedLedgerOffloadBucket=pulsar-topic-offload
+managedLedgerOffloadDriver=aws-s3
```
-It is also possible to specify the s3 endpoint directly, using
```s3ManagedLedgerOffloadServiceEndpoint```. This is useful if you are using a
non-AWS storage service which provides an S3 compatible API.
+### Configuring for "aws-s3" driver
-{% include admonition.html type="warning" content="If the endpoint is
specified directly, then the region must _not_ be set." %}
+#### Configuring the Bucket
-{% include admonition.html type="warning" content="The broker.conf of all
brokers must have the same configuration for driver, region and bucket for
offload to avoid data becoming unavailable as topics move from one broker to
another." %}
+On the broker, the administrator must configure the bucket and credentials for
the cloud storage service. The configured bucket and credentials must exist
before attempting to offload. If it does not exist, the offload operation will
fail.
Review comment:
Duplicate of text on line 22, which is in intro so it covers all drivers. I
would replace this with a brief intro to what the bucket is.
