Create a container in object storage
-
In the Control Panel, on the top menu, click Products and select Object Storage.
-
Go to the Containers section.
-
Click Create Container.
-
Enter a name for the container. For compatibility with the S3 API, the container name must be unique within the object store and conform to Amazon S3 bucket naming rules, see the Bucket naming rules instructions in the Amazon documentation for details.
-
Select the region and pool where the container will be created.
-
Select the type of container:
- private — for storing backups and other data with access by login and password or authorization token;
- public — for sharing the content of a website or web application, available without authorization.
-
Select a storage class:
- standard storage — for storing and distributing frequently requested data;
- cold storage — for storing rarely requested data.
The storage class only affects the cost of resources, technically and speed-wise the classes are the same. Once a container is created, the storage class cannot be changed.
-
If you need a container with Virtual-Hosted addressing to work with S3 API, select vHosted in the Addressing Type block . You can enable Virtual-Hosted addressing only once.
-
If you want versioning to be enabled in the container, in the Data Protection block, check the Versioning checkbox.
-
Click Create Container.
