Why Do I Need to Create OBS Destination Buckets When Using DES?

Object Storage Service (OBS) is a stable, secure, efficient, and easy-to-use cloud storage service. It provides highly reliable storage capabilities at low costs. With OBS, you can easily create, modify, and delete buckets, as well as upload, download, and delete objects. An object is the basic unit of data storage on OBS. It consists of object data and object metadata that describes object attributes. A bucket is a virtual container used to store objects on OBS.

Data transmitted through DES is stored as objects in buckets. Therefore, you need to subscribe to OBS, create buckets, and use DES to transmit data to OBS buckets. For details about how to create a bucket, see Creating a Bucket.

The number of required buckets depends on the number of data directories to be transmitted. A service order allows up to 10 buckets to be created.
