Enabling or Disabling Storage Configuration

Scenarios

You can enable Storage configuration for an AI application to integrate the Supabase Storage component with Huawei Cloud Object Storage Service (OBS). This feature is suitable for storing and managing unstructured data such as images and videos.

Prerequisites

  • You have registered a Huawei ID and enabled Huawei Cloud services.
  • You can create an IAM user and user group on the IAM console and grant the user specific operation permissions, to perform refined management on Huawei Cloud. For details, see Using IAM Roles or Policies to Grant Access to RDS.
  • You must use a login account assigned the rds:aiApplication:modifyStorage, rds:aiApplication:get, and rds:aiApplication:list actions.
  • You have obtained the name of the target OBS tenant bucket, access key ID (AK), and secret access key (SK). Ensure that you have full access and operation permissions for the OBS tenant bucket. Otherwise, faults may occur (for example, no permission to upload, download, or preview files).

Precautions

  • Storage can only be integrated with Huawei Cloud OBS. You must create an OBS tenant bucket in OBS.

  • You must obtain the AK and SK on the My Credentials > Access Keys page of the IAM console.
  • After the configuration is successful, a folder named app is created in the root directory of the OBS bucket to store uploaded file data.

Constraints

  • Storage configuration cannot be enabled for applications that are undergoing active operations. Wait until the operations are complete.
  • Supabase application features are unavailable during Storage configuration. Perform this operation during off-peak hours to avoid affecting peak-time workloads.
  • Storage configuration cannot be set when the application status is abnormal.
  • The Storage feature can be used only after Storage configuration is enabled.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the RDS console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose AI App Dev Platform.
  4. On the AI App Dev Platform page, click the target AI application name to open its details page.
  5. On the displayed page, click Settings under the Storage Configuration field in the Basic Info area.
  6. In the displayed Storage Configuration dialog box, select the check box, enter the name of the target OBS bucket, AK, and SK, and click OK. Wait until the interconnection task is complete.
