Managing buckets

After enabling access to the S3 storage, you can start creating buckets and uploading data in them. In an Amazon S3-like storage, a bucket is a uniquely named container for files, known as objects . Buckets are used to group and isolate objects from those in other buckets.

It is recommended to use bucket names that comply with DNS naming conventions:

• Must be from 3 to 63 characters long

• Must start and end with a lowercase letter or number

• Can contain lowercase letters, numbers, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscores (_)

• Can be a series of valid name parts separated by periods

Limitations

• You can only delete an empty bucket.

Prerequisites
