 The S3 output plugin conforms to the Fluent Bit output plugin specification. Because S3's use case is to upload large files (over 2&nbsp;MB), its behavior is different. S3's `flush` callback function buffers the incoming chunk to the filesystem, and returns an `FLB_OK`. This means Prometheus metrics available from the Fluent Bit HTTP server are meaningless for S3. In addition, the `storage.total_limit_size` parameter isn't meaningful for S3 since it has its own buffering system in the `store_dir`. Instead, use `store_dir_limit_size`. S3 requires a writeable filesystem. Running Fluent Bit on a read-only filesystem won't work with the S3 output.

 S3 has its own buffering system and its own callback to upload data, so the normal sequential data ordering of chunks provided by the Fluent Bit engine can be compromised. S3 has the `preserve_data_ordering` option which ensures data is uploaded in the original order it was collected by Fluent Bit.
