Configure Stratus

The Stratus component is going to act as our storage solution. We are going to store all the images that are going to be uploaded from your client in a Bucket in Stratus. This will ensure the images are referred to and rendered in the client as seamlessly and quickly as possible without any loss in quality.

To configure Stratus:

1. Navigate to the Stratus component present in the Storage section of CloudScale console.
   

2. Provide a unique name for your bucket, and select Public as the permission template, and click Create.
   

The bucket will be created, and Catalyst will have generated a secure Bucket URL to refer to the bucket when required.

3. Next, we are going to edit the permission template to ensure you can upload, download, and edit the images uploaded to the bucket in Stratus. Navigate to the Bucket Permissions tab, and click Edit Permissions.
   

4. Copy the JSON snippet below and replace it in place of the default permission defined in the console and click Update.

    "rules": [
        {

                    "auth_type": "public"
                }
            },
            "allowed_actions": [
                "PutObject",
                "DeleteObject",
                "GetObject"
            ],
            "paths": [
                "YOUR_BUCKET_NAME::/photos/*"
            ],
            "effect": "allow"
        }
    ],
    "version": "v1"
}

The Stratus component has been configured for your application.
