Object Storage Service:How to create a bucket

Last Updated:Oct 17, 2024

A bucket is a container for objects in Object Storage Service (OSS). Before you upload an object to OSS, you must first create a bucket to store the object. You can configure various attributes for a bucket, such as the access control list (ACL) and storage class. You can create buckets of different storage classes and store data in them based on your business requirements.

Usage notes

  • You are not charged for creating a bucket. You are charged only for the storage of objects in the bucket and the traffic generated when the objects are accessed. For more information, see Billing overview.

  • The capacity of a bucket is scalable. You do not need to purchase capacity before you use a bucket.

Limits

  • You can use an Alibaba Cloud account to create up to 100 buckets in the same region.

  • After a bucket is created, you cannot change its name, region, or storage class.

  • A single bucket has unlimited capacity.

Methods

Use the OSS console

  1. Log on to the OSS console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Buckets. On the Buckets page, click Create Bucket.

  3. In the Create Bucket panel, configure the parameters described in the following table.

    Parameter

    Description

    Bucket Name

    The name of the bucket that you want to create. The name of the bucket must meet the following requirements:

    • The name must be globally unique in OSS.

    • The name can contain only lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens (-).

    • The name must start and end with a lowercase letter or a digit.

    • The name must be 3 to 63 characters in length.

    Region

    The region in which the bucket is located.

    To access OSS from an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance over an internal network, select the region in which the ECS instance is located. For more information, see OSS domain names.

    Note

    Before you create a bucket in a region in the Chinese mainland, you must complete real-name registration on the Real-name Registration page.

    Endpoint

    The public endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located.

    Storage Class

    The storage class of the bucket. Valid values:

    • Standard: provides highly reliable, highly available, and high-performance storage for data that is frequently accessed. Standard is suitable for various business applications, such as social networking applications, image, audio, and video resource sharing applications, large websites, and big data analytics.

    • IA: provides highly durable storage at lower prices compared with Standard. Infrequent Access (IA) has a minimum billable size of 64 KB and a minimum billable storage duration of 30 days. You can access IA objects in real time. You are charged data retrieval fees when you access IA objects. IA is suitable for data that is infrequently accessed, such as data accessed once or twice a month.

    • Archive: provides highly durable storage at lower prices compared with Standard and IA. Archive has a minimum billable size of 64 KB and a minimum billable storage duration of 60 days. You can access an Archive object after it is restored or real-time access of Archive objects is enabled. The amount of time that is required to restore an Archive object is approximately 1 minute. You are charged data retrieval fees if you restore an Archive object. If you access an Archive object after real-time access of Archive objects is enabled, you are charged data retrieval fees based on the size of the accessed Archive object. Archive is suitable for data that needs to be stored for a long period of time, such as archival data, medical images, scientific materials, and video footage.

    • Cold Archive: provides highly durable storage at lower prices compared with Archive. Cold Archive has a minimum billable size of 64 KB and a minimum billable storage duration of 180 days. You must restore a Cold Archive object before you can access the object. The amount of time that is required to restore a Cold Archive object varies based on the object size and the restoration priority. You are charged data retrieval fees and API operation calling fees when you restore a Cold Archive object. Cold Archive is suitable for storing cold data over an ultra-long period of time, including data that must be retained for an extended period of time due to compliance requirements, raw data that is accumulated over an extended period of time in the big data and AI fields, retained media resources in the film and television industries, and archived videos from the online education industry.

    • Deep Cold Archive: provides highly durable storage at lower prices compared with Cold Archive. Deep Cold Archive has a minimum billable size of 64 KB and a minimum billable storage duration of 180 days. You must restore a Deep Cold Archive object before you can access it. The amount of time that is required to restore a Deep Cold Archive object varies based on the object size and restoration priority. You are charged data retrieval fees and API operation calling fees when you restore a Deep Cold Archive object. Deep Cold Archive is suitable for storing extremely cold data for a long period of time, such as raw data that is accumulated over an extended period of time in the big data and AI fields, media data that requires long-term retention, data that must be retained for a long period of time due to regulatory and policy compliance requirements, and data that needs to be migrated from tapes to the cloud for long-term storage.

    For more information, see Overview.

    Redundancy Type

    The redundancy type of the bucket. Valid values:

    • LRS

      Locally redundant storage (LRS) allows you to store multiple copies of your data on multiple devices of different facilities in the same zone. LRS provides data durability and availability even if hardware failures occur.

    • ZRS (Recommended)

      ZRS stores multiple copies of your data across multiple zones in the same region. Your data is still accessible even if a zone becomes unavailable.

      Important

      ZRS increases your storage costs and cannot be disabled after it is enabled. We recommend that you exercise caution when you select ZRS.

      For more information, see Create a ZRS bucket.

    Block Public Access

    Specifies whether to block public access to OSS resources. If you enable Block Public Access, existing public access permissions are ignored and you cannot configure public access permissions. This disables public data access channels and ensures data security. For more information, see Block Public Access.

    ACL

    The ACL of the bucket. Valid values:

    • Private: Only the bucket owner or authorized users can perform read and write operations on the objects in the bucket. Other users cannot access the objects in the bucket.

    • Public Read: Only the bucket owner or authorized users can perform write operations on the objects in the bucket. Other users, including anonymous users, can only read the objects in the bucket.

      Warning

      This may result in unexpected access to the data in the bucket and unexpectedly high fees. Exercise caution when you set the bucket ACL to Public Read.

    • Public Read/Write: All users, including anonymous users, can perform read and write operations on the objects in the bucket.

      Warning

      This may result in unexpected access to the data in the bucket and unexpectedly high fees. If a user uploads prohibited data or information, your legitimate interests and rights may be infringed. We recommend that you do not set the bucket ACL to Public Read/Write unless necessary.

    Resource Group

    The resource group to which the bucket belongs. Resource groups are used to group your resources by usage, permission, and region. You can use resource groups to organize your resources in a hierarchical manner and group resources based on users and projects. For more information, see Resource group overview.

    Versioning

    Specifies whether to enable versioning. Valid values:

    • Activate: If you enable versioning for a bucket, objects that are overwritten or deleted in the bucket are stored as previous versions. Versioning allows you to restore objects in a bucket to a previous version and protects your data from being accidentally overwritten or deleted. For more information, see Overview.

    • Not Activated: If you do not enable versioning for a bucket, you cannot restore objects that are overwritten or deleted in the bucket.

    Encryption Method

    The encryption method that is used to encrypt objects in the bucket.

    • None: Server-side encryption is disabled.

    • OSS-Managed: The keys managed by OSS are used to encrypt objects in the bucket. OSS encrypts each object with a different key. OSS also uses periodically rotated master keys to encrypt cryptographic keys.

    • KMS: The default customer master key (CMK) stored in Key Management Service (KMS) or a specific CMK is used to encrypt and decrypt data.

      To use KMS-managed keys, you must activate KMS. For more information, see Purchase a dedicated KMS instance.

    • Encryption Algorithm: Only AES-256 is supported.

    • CMK: You can configure this parameter if you set Encryption Method to KMS. You can select one of the following CMK types:

      • alias/acs/oss: The default CMK stored in KMS is used to encrypt objects and decrypt objects when the objects are downloaded.

      • CMK ID: The keys generated by a specific CMK are used to encrypt different objects and the specified CMK ID is recorded in the metadata of the encrypted objects. Objects are decrypted when they are downloaded by users who are granted decryption permissions. Before you specify a CMK ID, you must create a normal key or an external key in the same region as the bucket in the KMS console. For more information, see Create a CMK.

    Real-time Log Query

    Specifies whether to enable real-time log query for the bucket. If you want to query OSS access logs in real-time in the last seven days free of charge, turn on Real-time Log Query.

    For more information, see Real-time log query.

    If you do not want to query logs in real-time, retain the default setting, which is Not Activated.

    Scheduled Backup

    Specifies whether to enable scheduled backup for the bucket. If you want to periodically back up your OSS data, turn on Scheduled Backup. In this case, OSS automatically creates a backup plan and Cloud Backup backs up data once a day and retains the backups for seven days. For more information, see Scheduled backup.

    If you do not want to periodically back up OSS data, retain the default setting, which is Not Activated.

    OSS-HDFS

    Specifies whether to enable OSS-HDFS. If you want to access OSS by using JindoSDK to build a data lake, follow the on-screen instructions to turn on OSS-HDFS.

    Important
    • OSS-HDFS cannot be disabled after it is enabled. Exercise caution when you enable OSS-HDFS.

    • OSS-HDFS cannot be enabled for Archive or Cold Archive buckets.

    For more information, see Enable OSS-HDFS.

    Hierarchical Namespace

    Specifies whether to enable hierarchical namespace. If you want to rename a directory or an object in the bucket, enable hierarchical namespace.

    Important
    • You can enable hierarchical namespace for a bucket only when you create the bucket. Hierarchical namespace cannot be disabled after it is enabled. Exercise caution when you enable hierarchical namespace.

    • After you enable hierarchical namespace for a bucket, specific features of OSS become unavailable for the bucket. For more information, see Use hierarchical namespace.

  4. Click OK.

Use ossbrowser

You can use ossbrowser to perform the same bucket-level operations that you can perform in the OSS console. You can follow the on-screen instructions in ossbrowser to create a bucket. For more information, see Use ossbrowser.

Use OSS SDKs

The following sample code provides examples on how to create a bucket by using OSS SDKs for common programming languages. For more information about how to create a bucket by using OSS SDKs for other programming languages, see Overview.

Use ossutil

You can use ossutil to create a bucket. For more information, see mb.

Use the OSS API

If your business requires a high level of customization, you can directly call RESTful APIs. To directly call an API, you need to include the signature calculation in your code. For more information, see PutBucket.

What to do next

  • Object management

    • Upload an object

      After you create a bucket, you can upload objects to the bucket. For more information about how to upload objects, see Simple upload.

    • Download an object

      After you upload objects to a bucket, you can download the objects to the default download path of your browser or a custom local path. For more information about how to download objects, see Simple download.

    • Share an object

      You can share objects with other users by using object URLs for downloads or previews. For more information, see Share objects.

  • Access control

    For security reasons, the default ACL of OSS resources is private. Only the owners and authorized users can access resources whose ACL is private. OSS allows you to configure various policies to grant users specific permissions to access or use your OSS resources. For more information, see Overview.
