Create the S3 bucket configuration for an SVM

Contributors

POST /protocols/s3/buckets

Introduced In: 9.8

Creates the S3 bucket configuration of an SVM.

Important notes

  • Each SVM can have one or more bucket configurations.

  • Aggregate lists should be specified explicitly. If not specified, then the bucket is auto-provisioned as a FlexGroup volume.

  • Constituents per aggregate specifies the number of components (or FlexVol volumes) per aggregate. Is specified only when an aggregate list is explicitly defined.

  • An access policy can be created along with a bucket create. If creating an access policy fails, bucket configurations are saved and the access policy can be created using the PATCH endpoint.

  • "qos_policy" can be specified if a bucket needs to be attached to a QoS group policy during creation time.

  • "audit_event_selector" can be specified if a bucket needs to be specify access and permission type for auditing.

Required properties

  • svm.uuid or svm.name - Existing SVM in which to create the bucket configuration.

  • name - Bucket name that is to be created.

  • aggregates - List of aggregates for the FlexGroup volume on which the bucket is hosted on.

  • constituents_per_aggregate - Number of constituents per aggregate.

  • size - Specifying the bucket size is recommended.

  • policy - Specifying a policy enables users to perform operations on buckets; specifying the resource permissions is recommended.

  • qos_policy - A QoS policy for buckets.

  • audit_event_selector - Audit policy for buckets.

  • versioning_state - Versioning state for buckets.

  • type - Type of bucket.

  • nas_path - NAS path to which the bucket corresponds to.

  • lifecycle_management - Object store server lifecycle management policy.

Default property values

  • size - 800MB

  • comment - ""

  • aggregates - No default value.

  • constituents_per_aggregate - 4 , if an aggregates list is specified. Otherwise, no default value.

  • policy.statements.actions - GetObject, PutObject, DeleteObject, ListBucket, ListBucketMultipartUploads, ListMultipartUploadParts, GetObjectTagging, PutObjectTagging, DeleteObjectTagging, GetBucketVersioning, PutBucketVersioning.

Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

return_timeout

integer

query

False

The number of seconds to allow the call to execute before returning. When doing a POST, PATCH, or DELETE operation on a single record, the default is 0 seconds. This means that if an asynchronous operation is started, the server immediately returns HTTP code 202 (Accepted) along with a link to the job. If a non-zero value is specified for POST, PATCH, or DELETE operations, ONTAP waits that length of time to see if the job completes so it can return something other than 202.

  • Default value: 1

  • Max value: 120

  • Min value: 0

return_records

boolean

query

False

The default is false. If set to true, the records are returned.

  • Default value:

Request Body

Name Type Description

aggregates

array[aggregates]

A list of aggregates for FlexGroup volume constituents where the bucket is hosted. If this option is not specified, the bucket is auto-provisioned as a FlexGroup volume.

allowed

boolean

If this is set to true, an SVM administrator can manage the S3 service. If it is false, only the cluster administrator can manage the service.

audit_event_selector

audit_event_selector

Audit event selector allows you to specify access and permission types to audit.

comment

string

Can contain any additional information about the bucket being created or modified.

constituents_per_aggregate

integer

Specifies the number of constituents or FlexVol volumes per aggregate. A FlexGroup volume consisting of all such constituents across all specified aggregates is created. This option is used along with the aggregates option and cannot be used independently.

encryption

encryption

lifecycle_management

lifecycle_management

Lifecycle management is implemented as an object associated with a bucket. It defines rules to be applied against objects within a bucket. These rules are applied in the background and can delete objects.

logical_used_size

integer

Specifies the bucket logical used size up to this point.

name

string

Specifies the name of the bucket. Bucket name is a string that can only contain the following combination of ASCII-range alphanumeric characters 0-9, a-z, ".", and "-".

nas_path

string

Specifies the NAS path to which the nas bucket corresponds to.

policy

policy

A policy is an object associated with a bucket. It defines resource (bucket, folder, or object) permissions. These policies get evaluated when an S3 user makes a request by executing a specific command. The user must be part of the principal (user or group) specified in the policy. Permissions in the policies determine whether the request is allowed or denied.

protection_status

protection_status

Specifies attributes of bucket protection.

qos_policy

Specifes "qos_policy.max_throughput_iops" and/or "qos_policy.max_throughput_mbps" or "qos_policy.min_throughput_iops" and/or "qos_policy.min_throughput_mbps". Specifying "min_throughput_iops" or "min_throughput_mbps" is only supported on volumes hosted on a node that is flash optimized. A pre-created QoS policy can also be used by specifying "qos_policy.name" or "qos_policy.uuid" properties. Setting or assigning a QoS policy to a bucket is not supported if its containing volume or SVM already has a QoS policy attached.

role

string

Specifies the role of the bucket.

size

integer

Specifies the bucket size in bytes; ranges from 80MB to 64TB.

storage_service_level

string

Specifies the storage service level of the FlexGroup volume on which the bucket should be created. Valid values are "value", "performance" or "extreme".

svm

svm

type

string

Specifies the bucket type. Valid values are "s3"and "nas".

uuid

string

Specifies the unique identifier of the bucket.

versioning_state

string

Specifies the versioning state of the bucket. Valid values are "disabled", "enabled" or "suspended". Note that the versioning state cannot be modified to 'disabled' from any other state.

volume

volume

Specifies the FlexGroup volume name and UUID where the bucket is hosted.
