Understanding Object Storage bucket operations

CreateBucket

This operation allows you to create a new bucket.

Note

If the operation is successful, no output will be returned.

Sample request

PUT / HTTP/1.1
Host: bucketname.s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud
x-amz-content-sha256: e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2018 15:21:16 GMT
Authorization: authorization string

CLI command

aws s3 mb s3://bucketname

DeleteBucket

This operation allows you to delete the bucket mentioned in the command.

Important

Deleting a bucket will also delete all of its objects. For safety measures, the effective deletion of the bucket will start 24 hours after the deletion request. The bucket name will then be available for other customers to use.

The billing of your resources stops as soon as you request the deletion of your resources.

Once you do so, the bucket and its objects and versions will no longer be displayed in the console or available via the API. For this reason, we recommend you delete all objects and versions in the bucket before requesting the deletion, if you wish the bucket deletion to be effective immediately.

Note

If the operation is successful, no output will be returned.

Sample request

DELETE / HTTP/1.1

Host: bucketname.s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud
x-amz-content-sha256: e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

Create the file bucket-policy.json with the following content:

{
    "Version": "2023-04-17",
    "Id": "MyBucketPolicy",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "DelegateAccess",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {

                "<BUCKET_NAME>/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Then, run the command:

aws s3api put-bucket-policy --bucket <BUCKET_NAME> --policy file://bucket-policy.json

PutBucketWebsite

This operation enables the bucket website feature and sets the basic configuration for the website.

PUT /my-bucket?website HTTP/1.1
{
    "IndexDocument" : {
        "Suffix": "index.html"
    },
    "ErrorDocument": {
        "Key": "error.html"
    }
}

To enable the bucket website feature via the CLI, you can create a file called bucket-website.json with the index and error page names.

{
    "IndexDocument" : {
        "Suffix": "index.html"
    },
    "ErrorDocument": {
        "Key": "error.html"
    }
}

Then, upload it using the following command:

aws s3api put-bucket-website --bucket <BUCKET_NAME> --website-configuration file://bucket-website.json
