S3 buckets

Overview

This page describes the creation and management of S3 buckets in our OpenStack-based stoney cloud.

Create credential pair

In order to use the S3 API you have to create EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud) credentials using the OpenStack Keystone service.

This section will guide you through the creation process in our OpenStack-based cloud.

Create credential pair - Create credentials

Create new EC2 credentials in OpenStack using the OpenStack-CLI:

openstack ec2 credentials create

This will give you an output in the following format:
