Colt help
As Colt® Network Storage Object Tier is S3 compliant, any S3 compatible browser/client may be used to configure buckets, write or retrieve data, and delete buckets or individual objects (files). Examples include Cyberduck, Cloudberry Browser, S3cmd, and others. Additionally, most enterprise backup software has the ability to write directly to an S3 target. For this example, we show how to configure Cyberduck to connect to and create buckets in your Network Storage tenant.
S3 terminology typically references “buckets” as the storage containers, with “objects” being stored in those containers. While technically inaccurate, Cyberduck presents this as a more familiar construct of directories and files. The first step is to configure our S3 client for accessing the Network Storage regional endpoint. As seen in our example, our chosen region is US-west-1 (PHX).
To create Object Tier buckets using an S3 browser:
If you sign in to Control Center, your Network Storage service lists your new bucket on the Buckets subtab (under the Object Storage tab).
Important: Individual objects have a 5GB size limit. You must upload any objects larger than 5GB using the multi-part feature available using the S3 API. (Multi-part upload enables you to upload a single object as a set of parts. After all the individual parts are uploaded, the S3 protocol assembles the parts and creates the object.)
