Create a bucket

Before you upload objects to KS3, you must create a bucket to store these objects. You can configure various attributes for a bucket, including metadata such as the region and access permissions.

For more information about the API operation for creating a bucket, see PUT Bucket.

The bucket name must conform to the naming rules and be unique in KS3. After a bucket is created, the bucket name cannot be changed.

Naming rules

• The name can contain only lowercase letters, digits, periods (.), and hyphens (-).
• The name must start with a lowercase letter or digit.
• The name can contain 3 to 63 characters in length.
• The name cannot be in the IP address format, such as 192.168.0.1.
• The name cannot start with kss.

Operation methods

Permission control

You can configure an access control list (ACL) for a bucket when you create the bucket, and modify the ACL after the bucket is created. If no ACL is configured for a bucket, the bucket is private by default. For more information, see ACL.
