Getting Started with S3 Storage

To start using Vietnix Cloud S3 Storage:

  1. Create a bucket: Organize your data into logical containers.
  2. Upload objects: Store files of any type and size.
  3. Set access permissions: Control who can view or modify your data.
  4. Integrate with your applications: Use the S3 API or web interface for management.

1. Prepare Your Environment​

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • A Vietnix Portal Account, if you don't have one, you can sign up here.
  • Registered for S3 Storage service in your Vietnix Portal account.

2. S3 Storage Components​

The main components of Vietnix Cloud S3 Storage include:

  • Buckets: Containers for storing objects. Each bucket has a unique name and is used to organize your data.
  • Objects: The files you store in S3, which can be of any type and size.
  • Access Keys: Credentials used to authenticate and authorize access to your S3 resources.

  • Secret Key is shown only once – save it immediately.
  • Keep credentials secure and rotate them regularly.
  • Delete old keys after creating new ones.

Object Permissions​

Every object in a bucket has an Access Control List (ACL) that defines the permissions for that object. The following are the common permission levels:

  • Read: List and download objects
  • Read-Write: Read plus upload/modify objects
  • Full Control: All permissions plus ACL management
