How-to guides

Users can create the service by entering the required Object Storage information and selecting detailed options through the Samsung Cloud Platform Console.

Create authentication key

To create and use the Object Storage service in the Samsung Cloud Platform Console, you must first generate an authentication key.

You can generate an authentication key at My menu > My Info. > Authentication Key Management > Generate Authentication Key. For more details, refer to IAM > Create Authentication Key.

Reference
  • Authentication keys (Access Key, Secret Key) are used when authenticating Amazon S3 utilities.
  • The authentication key is used not only for Object Storage but also for authentication with OpenAPI and the CLI.
  • You can generate up to two authentication keys.
Caution
  • If the authentication key expires, access to the Object Storage service will be restricted. To ensure smooth service usage, check the authentication key’s expiration period in advance.
  • If you disable the authentication key, access permissions to the Object Storage service will be restricted.

Object Storage Encryption Configuration

You can configure the bucket to encrypt the data stored in it. After enabling bucket encryption, the encryption settings are applied to uploaded data. When encryption is used, the SSE‑S3 encryption key method and the AES256 encryption algorithm are applied.

Reference
Object Storage’s bucket encryption can provide two options (SSE‑S3/SSE‑KMS). SSE‑S3 is server‑side encryption (SSE‑S3) using Amazon S3 managed keys. SSE‑KMS is server‑side encryption (SSE‑KMS) using Key Management Service (KMS) keys.
In this service, we have launched server‑side encryption (SSE‑S3) using Amazon S3 managed keys as the default method, and server‑side encryption (SSE‑KMS) using Key Management Service (KMS) keys will be offered later according to the service roadmap.

guide

If there is data that was stored before the bucket encryption was configured, the encryption setting will not be applied.

  • If you re‑upload the file, the encryption will be applied.
  • To enable encryption for existing data, you need to re‑upload it.

Object Storage Follow the steps below to enable bucket encryption.

  1. Click the All Services > Storage > Object Storage menu. You will be taken to the Service Home page of Object Storage.
  2. On the Service Home page, click the Object Storage menu. You will be taken to the Object Storage List page.
  3. On the Object Storage list page, click the resource (bucket) to use for encryption. You will be taken to the Object Storage details page.
  4. On the Object Storage Details page, verify whether encryption is not used.
  5. If Encryption is unused, click the Edit button.Encryption Edit Popup opens.
  6. After checking Use for encryption, click the Confirm button.

Terminate Object Storage

You can cancel unused Object Storage to reduce operating costs. However, if you cancel the service, the running service may be stopped immediately, so you should thoroughly consider the impact of service interruption before proceeding with the cancellation.

Caution
  • Service termination is possible for buckets that have no stored data.
  • If a file is being uploaded, the upload will be canceled.
  • Please be careful, as data cannot be recovered after deletion.

To cancel Object Storage, follow the steps below.

  1. Click the All Services > Storage > Object Storage menu. You will be taken to the Service Home page of Object Storage.
  2. On the Service Home page, click the Object Storage menu. You will be taken to the Object Storage List page.
  3. On the Object Storage list page, select the resource (bucket) to cancel, and click the Cancel Service button.
  4. Enter bucket name to confirm cancellation.
  5. If you have entered the Bucket name correctly, the Confirm button will be activated. Click the Confirm button.
  6. When termination is complete, verify on the Object Storage list page that the resource has been terminated.
