Manage buckets

A bucket is the container that holds your files and folders in FPT Object Storage. Create a bucket before you upload any data.

To see your buckets, open Object Storage on FPT Unify Portal and select the Buckets tab.

Create a bucket​

  1. Go to Object Storage → Buckets and click Create Bucket.
  2. Enter a bucket name and select a Region.
  3. Click Create. The new bucket appears in the list.
note

A bucket name must be unique within its cluster, can be up to 64 characters long, and cannot contain special characters.

Delete a bucket​

  1. Go to Object Storage → Buckets.
  2. In the Action column of the bucket, click Delete.
  3. In the confirmation dialog, check the bucket name and click Delete.
danger

Deleting a bucket permanently removes all objects in it. This cannot be undone.

Empty a bucket​

Empty Bucket deletes all data in the bucket but keeps its settings, such as permissions and policies.

  1. In the Action column of the bucket, click Empty Bucket.
  2. In the confirmation dialog, check the bucket name and click Delete.
note

Emptying takes longer when the bucket holds many objects. For a bucket with more than 1,000 objects, consider deleting the bucket instead.

Create a folder​

Object storage has no real folders, only buckets and objects. The Portal groups objects that share a path prefix and shows them as a folder. For example, objects folder-1/object-1.txt and folder-1/object-2.txt appear inside folder-1.

  1. In Object Storage → Buckets, open the bucket.
  2. Go to the location for the new folder and click New folder.
  3. Enter the folder name and click Create. The folder appears in the bucket.

Search for a bucket​

Enter part of the bucket name in the Search box and press Enter.
