Introduction

This article shows how to access a bucket with different replication settings.

Prerequisites

Cloudist S3 service enabled.
One or more buckets created, see this KB for guidance: Create bucket .
Tool to access S3 endpoint (for example Cyberduck or S3 Browser)

Procedure

Bucket created in specific region

Open your tool of choice, and enter access specific details (may vary depending on tool)
Account Type should be “S3 Compatible Storage“
REST Endpoint can be copied from portal
Access key can be retrieved in portal
Secret key is only presented when user is created and not stored in portal for security reasons. Secret key can be re-generated if needed (this will invalidate any existing Secret key).
Bucket can now be accessed

Bucket created as replicated

Open your tool of choice, and enter access specific details (may vary depending on tool)
Account Type, access key and secret key are set in the same way as with a bucket created in a specific region (see previous section).
REST Endpoint can be copied from portal. Since this is a replicated bucket, you are presented with two different endpoints. Copy suitable one to your tool of choice.
Bucket can now be accessed through either endpoint.
