Create a Bucket

Before you perform any upload or migration action, you need to create a bucket to store the objects.

To create a bucket:

  1. Navigate to Stratus under STORAGE in the Cloud Scale service’s console, then click Create Bucket. catalyst_stratus_empty_first_page
Note: If you are currently using third-party platform storage services like Amazon S3, or GCP Cloud Storage, you can migrate your data from there to Stratus using the Third-Party Migration option. You can find detailed steps to successfully migrate your stored data from third-party platforms to Stratus in this help documentation.
  1. Provide a name for your bucket. catalyst_stratus_permission_template
Note: The name of your bucket needs to be globally unique. The methodology that needs to be followed while you name your bucket can be found in this help documentation.
  1. Select your required permission template. catalyst_stratus_name_bucket
Note:
  • Regardless of the permission template that you choose now, it can be edited to suit your requirement after bucket creation.

  • You can find out more about the default permission template in this help section.

  • This selection is only to create a bucket with a default permission template. You can find detailed instructions on providing custom permissions for individual objects or groups of objects in this help section.

  1. Enable the required settings according to your requirements. catalyst_stratus_enabling_settings
Note: Information on each of the settings, and information on when and if they should be enabled, can be found in this help section.
  1. Once you’ve confirmed your choices, click Create. catalyst_stratus_bucket_created

The Bucket URL will also be automatically generated by Catalyst and made available when you create the bucket. You can access the bucket securely using this URL.

The Bucket URL of each bucket will always be available for copying by clicking the Bucket URL button.

catalyst_stratus_copy_bucket_url

Bucket URL

This is a unique URL that is generated by Catalyst when you create a Bucket. The URL will be in the following format:

In development environment:

https://<bucket_name>-development.zohostratus.com/

In production environment:

https://<bucket_name>.zohostratus.com/

This URL will be globally unique, and access to the bucket via this URL will be permitted based on the permission template you configure for the bucket.

Bucket URLs will also be generated based on their DC, and the following illustrates the Bucket URL structure for each of the DCs that are supported by Catalyst.
