Configuring a Storage Quota (SDK for Python)

Function

A quota limits the maximum capacity allowed in a bucket. By default, there is no limit on the storage capacity of the entire OBS system or a single bucket, and any number of objects can be stored. You can set a storage quota to control the total size of objects that can be uploaded to the bucket. After the storage quota has been reached, object upload will fail.

A quota limit does not apply to the objects uploaded before the quota is configured. If the specified quota is already smaller than the total size of existing objects in the bucket, the existing objects in the bucket will not be deleted, but no more object can be uploaded to the bucket later. In this case, to upload new objects, you must delete some existing objects to make the used space below the quota limit.

Restrictions

  • A bucket storage quota must be a non-negative integer expressed in bytes. The maximum value is 263 – 1.
  • OBS does not provide an API for deleting bucket storage quotas. You can set the bucket storage quota to 0 to cancel the limit.
  • To configure a storage quota for a bucket, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:bucket:PutBucketQuota in IAM or PutBucketQuota in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Creating a Custom Bucket Policy.
  • The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.

Method

ObsClient.setBucketQuota(bucketName, quota)

Request Parameters

Table 1 List of 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

quota

int

Yes

Explanation:

Bucket quota

Value range:

An integer greater than or equal to 0, in bytes

Default value:

0, indicating that there is no limit on the bucket quota.

Responses

Type

Description

GetResult

Explanation:

SDK common results

Table 3 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 value is null. 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
