Object Storage is a computer data storage architecture that manages data as objects, as opposed to other traditional storage architectures. Instead of accessing blocks and/or files on a hierarchically organized remote filesystem, the client application gets or stores data using standard HTTPS communication. By nature, object storage is a technology focused on delivering storage capacity to applications, and hence, its management is essentially via HTTPS RESTFUL API calls, including the creation of buckets, user management, metadata, storage policies and, of course, object push and retrieval.
Redundancy and availability of the data is provided by Leaseweb. Your data is stored in three availability zones.
The pool where the application can push, query, and retrieve objects is usually named bucket or space, accessible via a unique FQDN that defines it (..), where the space identifies the pool.
For the available regions, the following FQDNs allow you to access the S3 API:
- nl.object-storage.io for the nl-01 region
- de.object-storage.io for the de-01 region
- uk.object-storage.io for the uk-01 region
- us.object-storage.io for the us-01 region
- ca.object-storage.io for the ca-01 region
You can get your API Key Id and Secret by following the steps described on the following article.
