1 - Overview

Service Overview

Object Storage is object storage that allows users to easily store and use the data they want and can be accessed via URL, making data management very convenient. It enables searching and retrieving large-scale data, and you can leverage features such as encryption and version control. Provides both public and private URLs, and public URLs are accessible over the internet.

Features

• S3 API utilization: Through a Restful API, applications can access it easily and quickly, and since it is compatible with Amazon S3, it can be used effortlessly in applications that integrate with Amazon S3.
• Safe Use: Encryption (SSE‑S3), access control, and Public/Private access features are provided, making it suitable for securely storing user data or backup data for service recovery.
• Cost Efficiency: Users do not predefine the bucket’s capacity and are provided storage space with an efficient pricing model that charges only for the amount used.
• Replication: You can perform replication to a bucket in a different location or the same location. * You can configure multiple replication policies, and if the source bucket becomes unavailable due to a failure or disaster, you can provide service through the replica bucket.

Provided Features

Object Storage provides the following features.

• Storage Management: Provides Object Storage creation, folder creation, folder deletion, file upload, file download, and file deletion functions.
• Version control: When you use version control, all versions of the uploaded files are managed. * You can easily download previous files by viewing the version list.
• Encryption: If you enable encryption, encryption is provided via the SSE‑S3 method.
• Access Control: Using access control, you can directly enter the Public IP allowed to access Object Storage or select resources (Virtual Server, Bare Metal Server, VPC Endpoint, etc.) within the same Account that are permitted to access.
• Replication: You can perform replication to a bucket in a different location or the same location.
  • Multiple replication policies can be configured
• Permission Management: It is provided with Private permission by default, and offers Public permission and permission management features.
  • Private permission: Allow file access and download only to users who know the authentication key.
  • Public permission: Accessing the file via its URL makes the file publicly available and downloadable to anyone worldwide
• Monitoring: You can view monitoring information such as total file count, data size (Bytes), and HTTP method request counts through the Cloud Monitoring service.
• ServiceWatch Service Integration Offering: You can monitor data through the ServiceWatch service.

Component

Authentication key

The authentication key is a required element that must be created in advance to use Object Storage.
The purpose of using the authentication key is as follows.

• In the Samsung Cloud Platform Console, you need an authentication key to create and access the Object Storage service.
• The API provided by Object Storage is compatible with Amazon S3, and you can use the same tools that leverage Amazon S3. * At this point, entering an authentication key is required, and it is used as a tool to identify whether the user has the appropriate permissions. For detailed instructions on creating and verifying authentication keys, see How-to guides > 인증키 생성하기.

Bucket

A bucket is the top-level folder, and all folders and files exist under the bucket. When you create an Object Storage service in the Samsung Cloud Platform Console, a bucket is created, and you can subsequently upload folders or files.
The bucket name creation rules are as follows.

• Bucket names must be at least 3 characters and at most 63 characters.
• Bucket names can consist only of lowercase English letters, numbers, periods. and hyphens-.
• Bucket names must start with a lowercase letter or a digit.
• Bucket names must not contain two consecutive periods.
• Bucket names cannot end with a period or hyphen.
• Bucket names cannot have a period and hyphen adjacent to each other.
• Bucket names do not use the IP address format (e.g., 192.168.x.x).
• The bucket name cannot be admin.
• Bucket names must be unique within an Account/Region.
• The bucket name you used previously will be available in 1 hour.

Folder

A folder (Folder) is used to logically group files.
The folder name generation rules are as follows.

• Folder names can consist of Korean characters, English letters, numbers, and special characters.
• The special characters that cannot be entered are as follows.

File

A file (File) refers to data stored in Object Storage and is the same as a regular file.
The filename generation rules are as follows.

• Filenames can consist of Korean characters, English letters, numbers, and special characters.
• The special characters that cannot be entered are as follows.

Folder names and file names are separated by a slash/. The following are examples of valid folder and file names.

URL

You can access the Object Storage bucket via URL. By providing public and private URLs, access is possible not only within the same Samsung Cloud Platform environment but also from external internet environments.
The URL structure is composed as follows.

The full URL information for the file can be viewed at View File Information.

Constraints

The limitations of Object Storage are as follows.

Preceding Service

Object Storage has no prerequisite services.

1.1 - Amazon S3 Usage Guide

Object Storage provides functions such as creating services, viewing lists, retrieving folder lists, creating folders, uploading files, and downloading files through the Samsung Cloud Platform Console. These functions are also available via an API compatible with Amazon S3. Therefore, tools that use Amazon S3 can be used in the same way.
To use Amazon S3’s utility tools, you need to generate and verify an authentication key. For detailed information, see Create Authentication Key.

Amazon S3 API

The list of Amazon S3 APIs supported by the Samsung Cloud Platform Object Storage service is as follows.

1.2 - Monitoring Metrics

Object Storage Monitoring Metrics

The table below shows the monitoring metrics for Object Storage that can be viewed through Cloud Monitoring. For detailed usage of Cloud Monitoring, refer to the Cloud Monitoring guide.

1.3 - ServiceWatch Metrics

Object Storage sends metrics to ServiceWatch. The metrics provided by default monitoring are data collected at 5‑minute intervals. In Object Storage, you can view replication metrics by policy in ServiceWatch by enabling ServiceWatch replication metrics per bucket.

Refer to How-to guides > Object Storage Activating Replication Metrics for how to enable ServiceWatch replication metrics.

Basic Metrics

The following are the basic metrics for the Object Storage namespace.

The indicators whose names are displayed in bold below are the key indicators selected from the basic metrics provided by Object Storage. Key metrics are used to configure service dashboards that are automatically generated for each service in ServiceWatch.

Each metric indicates through the user guide which statistical value is meaningful when viewing that metric, and among the meaningful statistics, the statistical values shown in bold text are the primary statistics. In the service dashboard, primary metrics can be viewed using the primary statistical values.

Replication Metric

The following are replication metrics. Replication metrics are collected per replication policy. Replication metrics are collected only when ServiceWatch replication metrics are enabled for each bucket. The replication metrics are as follows.
