Bucket Settings
Click on Settings to open the bucket configuration page. The Bucket Settings page allows users to configure bucket properties, versioning, security access, and storage limits.
1. Basic Information
The Basic Information section displays the core metadata and properties of the bucket.
Bucket Name
Displays the unique name assigned to the bucket when it was created. This name is used to identify and access the bucket within the object storage system.
Region
Indicates the geographical region where the bucket is hosted. The selected region determines data locality, latency, and compliance requirements.
Current Size
Shows the total storage currently used by all objects inside the bucket.
Total Objects
Displays the total number of objects stored in the bucket.
Created On
Shows the exact date and time when the bucket was created.
Last Modified
Displays the most recent timestamp when any object or configuration in the bucket was updated.
Tags
Tags allow users to attach key–value metadata to the bucket for easier organization, management, and automation.
Example:
2. Versioning Management
The Versioning Management section controls the object versioning functionality for the bucket. Version Control
Version control enables the storage of multiple versions of the same object.
When Versioning is Enabled:
Every update to an object creates a new version.
Older versions are preserved.
Deleted objects can be recovered.
This feature helps with:
Data recovery
Protection from accidental deletion
Object rollback
Note: Once versioning is enabled, it cannot be completely removed. It can only be turned off to stop creating new versions, while existing versions remain stored.
3. Security & Access
The Security & Access section controls public accessibility of the bucket.
Public Access
This setting determines whether the bucket is publicly accessible.
When Public Access is Enabled:
Anyone with the object URL can access the files.
Files can be viewed or downloaded without authentication.
Warning: Public buckets may expose sensitive data if not properly controlled.
Public URL
Displays the base URL used to access objects in the bucket.
Example:
Users can access objects by appending the object key to the public URL.
4. Storage Management
The Storage Management section allows administrators to configure limits on bucket storage usage. These limits help control how much storage space and how many objects can be stored in a bucket.
a. Bucket Quota
Bucket Quota allows administrators to set limits on storage consumption for a bucket.
Administrators can configure the following limits:
b. Storage Limit
Defines the maximum storage capacity allowed for the bucket.
c. Object Limit
Defines the maximum number of objects that can be stored in the bucket.
If no limits are configured, both values remain Unlimited, allowing unrestricted usage of the bucket.
Configure Bucket Quota
To configure storage limits for a bucket, follow the steps below.Step 1: Open Bucket Quota Configuration
Navigate to the Bucket Settings page.
Scroll down to the Storage Management section.
Locate the Bucket Quota option.
Click on the Configure button.
This opens the Bucket Quota configuration panel.
Step 2: Enable Bucket Quota
Toggle Enable Quota to ON.
Once enabled, additional fields will appear for configuring limits.
Enabling quota allows administrators to control:
Maximum storage usage
Maximum number of objects stored in the bucket
Step 3: Configure Storage Limits
After enabling quota, the following fields become available:
a. Storage Limit (GB)
Defines the maximum storage capacity allowed for the bucket.
Example:
If the storage usage reaches this limit, the system prevents additional uploads until storage becomes available.
b. Object Limit
Defines the maximum number of objects that can be stored in the bucket.
Example:
Once this limit is reached, users cannot upload additional objects until some objects are deleted.
Unlimited Storage or Objects
If the Storage Limit and Object Limit fields are left empty:
Storage remains unlimited
Object count remains unlimited
Step 4: Save Configuration
After entering the desired limits:
Click Save Changes to apply the quota settings.
Click Cancel to discard any unsaved changes.
Once saved, the configured quota limits will be enforced for the bucket.
