Object Storage (S3)

Object Storage is a scalable storage service for storing and retrieving any amount of data from anywhere. It is S3-compatible and backed by Ceph RGW (RADOS Gateway).

Features

  • S3 Compatibility: Fully compatible with the Amazon S3 API, allowing you to use existing tools and libraries (e.g., s3cmd, AWS CLI, boto3).
  • Scalability: Store virtually unlimited amounts of data.
  • Accessibility: Access data via HTTP/HTTPS from anywhere on the internet or within the cloud.
  • Cost-Effective: Pay only for the storage you use.

Usage

Object storage is ideal for:

  • Backups and archives
  • Static website hosting
  • Storing media assets (images, videos)
  • Data lakes for analytics

Tools

You can use standard S3 tools to interact with I/O Cloud Object Storage. See our guide on installing s3cmd.
