Create new buckets using the object browser through Object Bucket Claims or the S3 API.

Before you begin

  • Administrators: Administrator access to Fusion Data Foundation.
  • Developers: Logged in to the object browser using secret namespace and secret name. For more information see Accessing the object browser.

  2. From the Storage endpoint selector, choose MCG or RGW, then click the Buckets tab.
  3. Choose one of the following options to create the buckets:
    • Create via Object Bucket Claim
      Note: For RGW object bucket claims (OBCs), you must use the credentials associated with the OBC to access the newly created bucket. RGW administrator credentials cannot be used to access these buckets.
      1. Select a namespace.
      2. Enter the ObjectBucketClaim name.
      3. Select the storage class.
      4. Select the bucket class.
      5. Select the Enable replication to obtain higher resiliency of the objects stored in the buckets.
      6. Click Create using ObjectBucketClaim.
    • Create via S3 API
