Creating a Bucket (SDK for Java)

Function

This API creates an OBS bucket. Buckets are containers for storing objects (files uploaded to OBS) in OBS.

When creating a bucket, you can also configure parameters such as the storage class, region, and access control as needed.

Restrictions

To create a bucket, you must have the obs:bucket:CreateBucket permission. IAM is recommended for granting permissions. For details, see IAM Custom Policies.
When creating a bucket, if you use the endpoint obs.myhuaweicloud.eu for client initialization, you do not have to specify a region (indicated by location) where the bucket will be created, because OBS automatically creates the bucket in the EU-Dublin (eu-west-101) region. However, if the endpoint you use is not obs.myhuaweicloud.eu, you must specify a region that matches the used endpoint, or status code 400 is returned.

For example, if the endpoint used for initialization is obs.eu-west-101.myhuaweicloud.eu, you must set Location to eu-west-101 when creating a bucket.
A maximum of 100 buckets and parallel file systems in total can be created globally for an account. There is no limit on the number or size of objects stored in a bucket.
The created bucket name must be unique in OBS. If you repeatedly create buckets with the same name in the same region, an HTTP status code 200 will be returned. In other cases, creating a bucket with an existing bucket name will have an HTTP status code 409 returned, indicating that such a bucket already exists.
The name of a deleted bucket can be reused for another bucket or a parallel file system at least 30 minutes after the deletion.
Not all regions support the creation of multi-AZ buckets. You can check whether a region allows you to create multi-AZ buckets by referring to Product Pricing Details.

Method

Method 1: Create a bucket with a specified name.
createBucket(String bucketName)
Method 2: Create a bucket with a specified name in a specified region.
createBucket(String bucketName, String location)

Method 3: Create a bucket with a specified name in a specified region.
createBucket(ObsBucket bucket)

Method 4: Create a bucket and configure access permissions, storage class, location, cluster type, bucket type (object bucket or parallel file system), enterprise project ID, and extension permissions for the bucket.

Request Parameters

**Table 1** List of request parameters
Parameter	Type	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
request	CreateBucketRequest	Yes	Explanation: Request parameters for creating a bucket. For details, see Table 2.

**Table 2** CreateBucketRequest
Parameter	Type	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
bucketName	String	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 attributes comply with those set in the first creation request. Default value: None
location	String	Yes if the region where the OBS service resides is not the default region	Explanation: Region where a bucket will be located Restrictions: If the endpoint used is obs.myhuaweicloud.eu, this parameter is not required. If any other endpoints are used, this parameter is required. Default value: If obs.myhuaweicloud.eu is used as the endpoint and no region is specified, eu-west-101 (the EU-Dublin region) is used by default.
acl	AccessControlList	No	Explanation: An access control list (ACL) that can be specified at bucket creation. You can use either a pre-defined or a user-defined ACL. For more information about ACLs, see ACLs. Value range: To use a pre-defined ACL, see Table 3 for the available policies. To use a user-defined ACL, see Table 5 to configure the required parameters. Default value: AccessControlList.REST_CANNED_PRIVATE
storageClass	StorageClassEnum	No	Explanation: Bucket storage class that can be specified at bucket creation. Value range: See Table 12. Default value: STANDARD
extensionPermissionMap	Map<ExtensionBucketPermissionEnum, Set<String>>	No	Explanation: A permission map for granting bucket ACL permissions to one or more accounts. ExtensionBucketPermissionEnum specifies the permissions to grant, and Set<String> describes the list of account IDs (indicated by domain_id) the granted permissions apply to. Value range: For details about the available permissions, see Table 4. To obtain the account ID, see How Do I Get My Account ID and User ID? Default value: None
epid	String	No	Explanation: Enterprise project ID that can be specified at bucket creation. If you have enabled Enterprise Project Management Service (EPS), you can obtain the project ID from the EPS console. Restrictions: The value of epid is a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). epid is not required if you have not enabled EPS yet. Example: 9892d768-2d13-450f-aac7-ed0e44c2585f Default value: None
availableZone	AvailableZoneEnum	No	Explanation: Data redundancy type that can be specified at bucket creation. Restrictions: Multi-AZ redundancy does not support Archive storage. If the region where the bucket is located does not support multi-AZ storage, the bucket adopts single-AZ storage by default. Value range: To configure multi-AZ storage for the bucket, set this parameter to MULTI_AZ. To configure single-AZ storage (default value assigned by OBS) for the bucket, you do not need to specify this parameter. Default value: If this parameter is left blank, single AZ is used by default.
