Buckets
A bucket represents a namespace where you store various objects. The "bucket" name comes from the AWS S3 standard, however, in OpenStack Swift, you will find it named as a "container".
For simplicity, in this documentation we will refer to those namespaces as "buckets"
Create a bucket#
To create a bucket, navigate to the "Object Storage" section.
- Name: a URL friendly name. Must be unique across our platform.
- Visibility: by default buckets are created as private. You can switch it to "public" if you want to share access to everyone (not recommended).

Bucket settings#
From the settings you can grab the URL from API access.
- Swift URL: the url for accessing the OpenStack Swift API
- S3 URL: the url for accessing the AWS S3 API
