Creating a Bucket

Procedure

1. In the upper right corner of the OBS Console homepage, click Create Bucket.
2. Configure bucket parameters.

   Table 1 Bucket parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Region	Geographic area where a bucket resides. For low latency and faster access, select the region nearest to you. Once the bucket is created, its region cannot be changed.
   AZ	Isolated physical location where a bucket resides. If a region has multiple AZs, you can create buckets in clusters in different AZs and implement cross-AZ disaster recovery using cross-cluster replication. For details, see Cross-Cluster Replication.
   Cluster Group	Cluster where a bucket resides. OBS provides cross-cluster replication to implement cross-AZ disaster recovery. For details, see Cross-Cluster Replication.
   Bucket Name	Name of the bucket. A bucket name must be unique across all accounts and regions. Once a bucket is created, its name cannot be changed. According to the globally applied DNS naming rules, an OBS bucket name: Must be unique across all accounts and regions. The name of a deleted bucket can be reused for another bucket or a parallel file system at least 30 minutes after the deletion. Must be 3 to 63 characters long. Only lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and periods (.) are allowed. Cannot start or end with a period (.) or hyphen (-), and cannot contain two consecutive periods (..) or contain a period (.) and a hyphen (-) adjacent to each other. Cannot be formatted as an IP address. NOTE: When you access OBS through HTTPS using virtual hosted-style URLs, if the bucket name contains a period (.), the certificate verification will fail. To work around this issue, you are advised not to use periods (.) in bucket names.
   Cluster Type	Public cluster: If you select this option, the bucket you are creating will be in a public cluster shared with others. Dedicated cluster: If you select this option, the bucket you are creating will be in the dedicated cluster you purchased. NOTE: The cluster type feature is only available to users who have purchased dedicated clusters. For the other users, the bucket they create is in a public cluster by default.
   Disaster Recovery	Disable: Data is stored only in one single AZ at a lower cost. Enable: Data is redundantly stored in two AZs in the same region. This delivers a higher reliability but costs more. Once enabled, the two-AZ disaster recovery cannot be disabled.
   Data Redundancy Policy	Multi-AZ storage: Data is stored in multiple AZs to achieve higher reliability. Single-AZ storage: Data is stored in a single AZ, with lower costs. Once a bucket is created, the data redundancy policy cannot be changed, so choose the policy that can meet your needs.
   Bucket Policy	Controls read and write permissions for buckets. Private: No access beyond the bucket ACL settings is granted. Public Read: Anyone can read objects in the bucket. Public Read and Write: Anyone can read, write, or delete objects in the bucket.
