Create a bucket

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

  2. Go to the Buckets section.

  3. Click Create Bucket.

  4. Enter the name of the bucket. For compatibility with S3 API, the name of the bucket must meet the conditions:

    • be unique among all users who use the storage via S3 API and are hosted in the same pool;
    • comply with Amazon S3 Bucket naming rules - contain only numbers, letters of the Latin alphabet, symbols . and -, for more information see the Bucket naming rules in the Amazon documentation.

  5. Select the region and pool in which the bucket will be created.

  6. In the Configuration block:

    6.1 Select the type of buckets:

    • 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.

    6.2 Select the storage class:

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

    The storage class only affects the cost of resources, technically and in terms of speed the classes are the same. The storage class cannot be changed once the tank has been created.

    6.3 Select the type of addressing. We recommend to choose vHosted addressing to work with S3 API. It will not be possible to 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, check the Versioning checkbox.

  8. Click Create Bucket.
