  3. Ready to Complete


Bucket Information

Configure the storage location and capacity for the new bucket.


Pool Located
Select the storage pool where the bucket will reside.

  • The bucket can only be created within a single storage pool.
  • Ensure the selected pool has sufficient unallocated capacity.


Bucket Name
Enter a unique bucket name.

  • The name must not duplicate existing buckets.
  • Use a clear naming convention for easier identification.


Capacity
Specify the bucket capacity (GB).
The system will display:

  • Total Capacity
  • Used Capacity
  • Available Capacity

Click Next to proceed.


Access Control
Configure which Access Keys are allowed to access this bucket and define their permissions.
Access control is configured in two sub-steps:


Select Access Keys
Select one or more Access Keys that will be authorized to access the bucket.

  • Use the checkbox to select individual Access Keys.
  • Use the Select All option to authorize all listed keys.

Access Key

Prefix (Optional)
Specify a prefix to restrict access to a specific path within the bucket.

  • Leave blank to allow access to the entire bucket.
  • Enter a prefix (e.g., projectA/) to limit access to objects under that path only.
  • Prefix-based restriction enhances fine-grained access control.


Actions (Permission Settings)
Select the allowed operations for the Access Key:

  • GET – Allows downloading or reading objects.
  • PUT – Allows uploading or overwriting objects.
  • LIST – Allows listing objects within the bucket.
  • DELETE – Allows deleting objects.

Permissions can be configured independently per Access Key.
For example:

  • Read-only access: enable GET and LIST
  • Upload-only access: enable PUT
  • Full control: enable GET, PUT, LIST, DELETE

Carefully assign permissions based on security and operational requirements.


Ready to Complete
Review all configuration settings before finalizing:

  • Storage pool
  • Bucket name
  • Allocated capacity
  • Authorized Access Keys
  • Prefix restrictions
  • Assigned permissions
