Using the AWS CLI with the IBM Cloud Object Storage System™ API requires a slight modification: setting the S3 endpoint.

Other minor variations are outlined.

Note: See the IBM Cloud Object Storage System™ API Guide for detailed information about the functional differences between the S3 API and the IBM Cloud Object Storage System™. It also includes a subset of S3 API features the CSO API supports.

See the AWS CLI S3 API Reference for detailed information on SDK classes and functions.

The examples were generated by using AWS CLI S3 1.7.36.

IBM Cloud Object Storage Vault and S3 Bucket are synonymous.

Some sections refer to home directories. The user’s home directory vary per platform:

Table 1. Home directories
OS	Location
Linux	`/home/{username}` `~/`
Windows 7	`%USERPROFILE%\`
Mac OS X	`/Users/{username}`

For simplicity, this information assumes a Unix/Linux development environment in its examples.
