Create a bucket

Last update:

  1. In the control panel, from the top menu, click Products and select S3.

  2. Go to the Buckets section.

  3. Click Create bucket.

  4. Enter a bucket name. For S3 API compatibility, the bucket name must meet the following conditions:

    • be unique among the buckets of all users who use the storage via the S3 API and are located in the same pool;
    • comply with Amazon S3 bucket naming rules — contain only numbers, Latin letters, dots ., and -; see the Bucket naming rules in the Amazon documentation for more details.

  5. Select the region and pool where the bucket will be created.

  6. In the Configuration block:

    6.1. Select the bucket type:

    • private — for storing backups and other data accessible via login and password or an authorization token;
    • public — for hosting website or web application content; accessible without authorization.

    6.2. Select the storage class:

    • standard storage — for storing and serving frequently requested data;
    • cold storage — for storing rarely requested data;
    • glacier storage — for storing very rarely requested data. Available only in the ru-3 pool.

    The storage class only affects resource costs; technically and in terms of speed, the classes are identical. Once a bucket is created, the storage class cannot be changed.

    6.3. Select the addressing type. We recommend choosing vHosted addressing for S3 API operations. You cannot change the addressing type to Path-Style after the bucket is created.

  7. Optional: to store previous versions of objects, in the Data protection block, select the Versioning checkbox.

  8. Click Create bucket.
