Using Object Storage
Using Object Storage
Scalable object storage is composed of two parts: the object storage gateway and the object storage backend. This section explains storage and how to access it.The object storage gateway (OSG) receives user requests and authorizes these requests using the Eucalyptus identity services. For more information about identity services, see Managing Access .
1 - Access Object Storage
You can use your favorite S3 client (for example, ) to interact with Eucalyptus.To access object storage:
Replace your S3_URL with the IP address of the OSG you wish to interact with and the service path with /services/objectstorage
instead of /services/Walrus
. For example:
S3_URL = http://<OSG IP>:8773/services/objectstorage
Note
If you have DNS enabled, you may use the “objectstorage” prefix to access your object storage. Eucalyptus will return a list of IPs that correspond to OSGs that are in the state.
