Create a Bucket

Before you can upload objects to
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension
, you must create a bucket.
  • If you are using
    Cloudian HyperStore
    and want to use the object lock feature, verify that you upgraded
    Cloudian HyperStore
    to version 7.2.2.1 or later.
  • Verify that the bucket name that you want to use adheres to the Amazon S3 Bucket Naming Requirements. Bucket names are globally unique across all
    VMware Cloud Director
    organizations.
  1. Log in to the
    VMware Cloud Director tenant portal
    .
  2. In the primary left navigation panel, under
    More
    , select
    Object Storage
    .
  3. Click
    Buckets
    New Bucket
    .
  4. Select the region where you want to create the new bucket.
  5. Enter a name of the bucket.
  6. To keep multiple versions of the objects that the bucket stores, turn on the
    Activate Versioning
    toggle.
  7. To prevent objects in the bucket from being deleted, turn on the
    Object Lock
    toggle.
    You can only activate the object lock feature during the creation of a bucket. If you activate the feature for a bucket, you cannot deactivate it later or suspend versioning for that bucket.
    1. Select the retention mode.
    2. Select the retention period.
  8. Click
    Save
    .
The new bucket appears in the
Buckets
pane and you can upload objects to it.
