ONTAP version support for S3 object storage

Contributors netapp-ahibbard netapp-mdavidson netapp-forry

ONTAP supports S3 object storage for on-premises environments beginning with ONTAP 9.8. Cloud Volumes ONTAP supports S3 object storage for cloud environments beginning with ONTAP 9.9.1.

S3 support with Cloud Volumes ONTAP

ONTAP S3 is configured and functions the same in Cloud Volumes ONTAP as in on-premises environments, with one exception:

Cloud Provider ONTAP Version

Azure

ONTAP 9.9.1 and later

AWS

ONTAP 9.11.0 and later

Google Cloud

ONTAP 9.12.1 and later

S3 public preview in ONTAP 9.7

In ONTAP 9.7, S3 object storage was introduced as a public preview. That version was not intended for production environments and will no longer be updated as of ONTAP 9.8. Only ONTAP 9.8 and later releases support S3 object storage in production environments.

S3 buckets created with the 9.7 public preview can be used in ONTAP 9.8 and later, but cannot take advantage of feature enhancements. If you have buckets created with the 9.7 public preview, you should migrate the contents of those buckets to 9.8 buckets for feature support, security, and performance enhancements.
