Using AWS S3-compatible applications¶
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is one of the earliest cloud services launched by AWS. After many years of development, the S3 protocol has become a de facto standard in the object storage field.
Object Storage Service (OSS) provides an S3-compatible implementation scheme, so you can directly use the OSS service in most S3-compatible applications.
General configuration of OSS¶
Most applications have similar configuration items for using a storage service. The common names and descriptions of these configuration items are as listed below:
| Common Configuration Item Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Service endpoint, service address, service URL, endpoint, custom endpoint, server URL, etc. | This indicates the address of an S3-compatible service. If you use OSS, enter the OSS endpoint here in the format of <CustomerId>.oss.swiftserve.com. Whether https:// needs to be entered is determined by the application, and you can make some attempts by yourself. If the service endpoint cannot be configured or there is no such configuration item, the application cannot use OSS. |
| Access key, access key ID, etc. | Enter the Access key obtained in 2.3. |
| Secret key, secret, secret access key, etc. | Enter the Secret key obtained in 2.3. |
| Bucket, etc. | A bucket is a container for objects stored in OSS. |
