Creating an bucket
When registering on the VK Cloud platform and activating the account, the user gets full access to the Object Storage service.
Before uploading an object to the storage, you should create a bucket for its placement.
There is no charge for creating a bucket. The fee is charged only for storing objects in the bucket and for moving objects to and from the bucket. Additional information about the cost of storage and operations can be obtained at website.
There are several types of buckets that differ in both the purpose and the amount of payment for the objects placed in them:
- Hotbox — designed for storing and quickly distributing a large number of files for media services, online media, sites with multi-user content and mobile applications
- Icebox — cloud storage of rarely used data: backups, logs, media content, scientific, statistical data, as well as working archives
- Backup — placement of backup copies of instances created both automatically and manually. A bucket of this type is not subject to self-creation or deletion, but is managed by the backup service.
You can create a bucket both in the VK Cloud Panel and using the AWS CLI.
