S3 Compatible Storage
Copy Files to S3 Compatible Storage
Object Storage has become increasingly in demand since Amazon AWS S3 became a standard for object storage. With many cloud storage providers adopting it as a standard protocol, it has become a crucial protocol to support.
GS RichCopy 360 Enterprise supports all S3 compatible storage providers regardless if they are deployed on-prem or in the cloud. In the video above, we show how to copy to Exoscale Object Storage, which is a reputable cloud provider using an S3 compatible storage option.
To copy to S3 compatible storage (often referred to as bucket), five things are needed:
- S3 bucket
- S3 Access Key
- S3 Secret Key
- S3 Endpoint
- Read\Write permissions to be granted (via policy or explicitly) to the S3 Access Key to access the S3 bucket.
