Configuring a Storage Class for a Bucket (SDK for Python)

Function

This API configures a storage class for a bucket. If you do not specify a storage class when uploading or copying an object, or initiating a multipart upload, the object inherits the bucket's storage class.

Restrictions

Method

ObsClient.setBucketStoragePolicy(bucketName, storageClass)

Request Parameters

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

bucketName

str

Yes

Explanation:

Bucket name

Restrictions:

  • A bucket name must be unique across all accounts and regions.
  • A bucket name:
    • Must be 3 to 63 characters long and start with a digit or letter. Lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and periods (.) are allowed.
    • Cannot be formatted as an IP address.
    • Cannot start or end with a hyphen (-) or period (.).
    • Cannot contain two consecutive periods (..), for example, my..bucket.
    • Cannot contain periods (.) and hyphens (-) adjacent to each other, for example, my-.bucket or my.-bucket.
  • If you repeatedly create buckets of the same name in the same region, no error will be reported and the bucket properties comply with those set in the first creation request.

Default value:

None

storageClass

str

Yes

Explanation:

Storage class of the bucket

Value range:

See Table 1.

Default value:

None
Table 1 StorageClass

Parameter

Type

Description

STANDARD

Standard storage class

Explanation:

Features low access latency and high throughput and is used for storing massive, frequently accessed (multiple times a month) or small objects (< 1 MB) requiring quick response.

WARM

Infrequent Access storage class

Explanation:

Used for storing data that is semi-frequently accessed (fewer than 12 times a year) but is instantly available when needed.

COLD

Archive storage class

Explanation:

Used for storing rarely accessed (once a year) data.

Responses

Type

Description

GetResult

Explanation:

SDK common results
Table 2 GetResult

Parameter

Type

Description

status

int

Explanation:

HTTP status code

Value range:

A status code is a group of digits ranging from 2xx (indicating successes) to 4xx or 5xx (indicating errors). It indicates the status of a response. For more information, see Status Code.

Default value:

None

reason

str

Explanation:

Reason description.

Default value:

None

errorCode

str

Explanation:

Error code returned by the OBS server. If the value of status is less than 300, this parameter is left blank.

Default value:

None

errorMessage

str

Explanation:

Error message returned by the OBS server. If the value of status is less than 300, this parameter is left blank.

Default value:

None

requestId

str

Explanation:

Request ID returned by the OBS server

Default value:

None

indicator

str

Explanation:

Error indicator returned by the OBS server.

Default value:

None

hostId

str

Explanation:

Requested server ID. If the value of status is less than 300, this parameter is left blank.

Default value:

None

resource

str

Explanation:

Error source (a bucket or an object). If the value of status is less than 300, this parameter is left blank.

Default value:

None

header

list

Explanation:

Response header list, composed of tuples. Each tuple consists of two elements, respectively corresponding to the key and value of a response header.

Default value:

None

body

object

Explanation:

Result content returned after the operation is successful. If the value of status is larger than 300, this parameter is left blank. The value varies with the API being called. For details, see Bucket-Related APIs (SDK for Python) and Object-Related APIs (SDK for Python).

Default value:

None
