Object Storage Encryption Configuration

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

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

Information

If there is data saved before bucket encryption was configured, the encryption settings will not be applied.

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

  6. After checking Enable for Encryption, click the Confirm button.

Terminate Object Storage

You can cancel unused Object Storage to reduce operating costs. However, if you terminate the service, the running service may be stopped immediately, so you should proceed with the termination only after fully considering the impact that may arise from the service interruption.

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

With the version control feature, if you accidentally upload a file and overwrite an existing one, you can locate the previous version using the version list.

Setting up version control

You can enable versioning on the bucket.

Caution
When using S3 FileSystem Backend solutions (e.g., s3fs, objectivefs, etc.), it is recommended not to enable versioning. Enabling versioning may cause performance degradation.

Object Storage To set up versioning, follow the steps below.

  1. Click the All Services > Storage > Object Storage menu. Navigate to the Service Home page.
  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) for which you want to configure versioning. You will be taken to the Object Storage Details page.
  4. On the Object Storage Details page, verify whether Versioning is unused.
  5. If Version control is unused, click the Edit button. The Edit version control popup window opens.
  6. After checking version management as Enabled, click the Confirm button. On the Object Storage Details page, Version Management will be changed to Enabled.
reference
  • When you configure version control for the first time, it may take some time for changes to be applied.
  • The time required may vary depending on the size of the bucket. Work performed before the configuration is completed may not have the version applied.

Check version list

From the moment version control is configured, you can view and manage versions of file uploads and modifications.

Information
  • Version control for file uploads and edits is available from the moment version control is configured.
  • All files have a version ID. However, before version control is configured, the version ID is null(-), and files uploaded after version control is set up are assigned a generated version ID.
    • For example, if you upload a file with the same name to the same location, the file name remains the same, but a new version file with a different version ID appears in the version list.

Object Storage To check the version list of a file, follow these steps.

  1. Click the All Services > Storage > Object Storage menu. Navigate to the Service Home page.
  2. On the Service Home page, click the Object Storage menu. You will be taken to the Object Storage List page.

4 - Permission Management

Each file is provided with Private permission by default, and each file can be changed to Public permission through permission settings. Private permission allows file access and download only to users who know the Access Key and Secret Key, whereas Public permission allows anyone worldwide to access and download the file via its Public URL, so caution is required.

guide
When Public Access is enabled, accessing the file’s Public URL makes the file publicly available and downloadable to anyone worldwide.
Please enable file sharing only when it is absolutely necessary.

5 - Replication Policy Management

Replication can be performed on buckets 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.

information
  • The replication feature operates in a 1:N structure, allowing replication within a region or between regions. * Data transfer charges are added when performing cross-region replication.
  • The replication feature applies only to files uploaded after the replication policy is set.
  • Deleting the versioned file in the source does not delete the files in the replica bucket.
    • Example: When set from Bucket A → Bucket B, even if the version file in Bucket A is deleted, it remains in Bucket B.
  • Bidirectional replication can be configured.
    • Example: When set to Bucket A ↔ Bucket B, files uploaded to Bucket A are replicated to Bucket B, and files uploaded to Bucket B are replicated to Bucket A.
  • The duplicated file will not be duplicated.
    • Example: When configured as Bucket A → Bucket B → Bucket C, files replicated from Bucket A to Bucket B are not replicated from Bucket B to Bucket C.
  • If there are no files in the original folder, that folder will not be duplicated as a copy.
Reference
The kr-south region does not provide inter-region Object Storage replication functionality.
