I'm using gsutil CLI to copy files to buckets of Google Cloud. But I didn't find what are the options for specifying a storage class? I read the documentation and the options are not written there. It's just written to use -s <class> but what are the options for <class>?
These are the following Storage Class that you can define:
STANDARD
NEARLINE
COLDLINE
ARCHIVE
Additional: You should only use copy to copy between the same location and storage class
I want to transfer a complete bucket to coldline easy. My problem is that when I try to run gsutil, it disconnects and charges me each time.
This is the command I'm trying to use:
gsutil rewrite -s coldline gs: // bucket / **
You can use a lifecycle policy on the bucket to downgrade all objects in the bucket to coldline.
I am trying to use IBM Cloud Object Storage to store images uploaded to my site by users. I have this functionality working just fine.
However, based on the documentation here (link) it appears as though only one object can be downloaded from a bucket at a time.
Is there any way a list of objects could all be downloaded from the bucket? Is there a different approach to requesting multiple objects from a COS bucket?
Via the REST API, no, you can only download a single object at a time. But most tools (like the AWS CLI, or Minio Client) allow downloading all objects that share a prefix (eg foo/bar and foo/bas). The IBM forks of the S3 libraries also are now integrated with Aspera, and can transfer large directories all at once. What are you trying to do?
According to S3 spec (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTObjectGET.html), you can only download one object at a time.
There are various tools which may help to download multiple objects at a time from COS. I used AWS CLI tool to download and upload the objects from/to COS.
So install aws-cli tool and configure it by supplying access_key_id and secret_access_key here.
Recursively copying S3 objects to a local directory: When passed with the parameter --recursive, the following cp command recursively copies all objects under a specified prefix and bucket to a specified directory.
C:\Users\Shashank>aws s3 cp s3://yourBucketName . --recursive
for example:
C:\Users\Shashank>aws --endpoint-url http://s3.us-east.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud s3 cp s3://yourBucketName D:\s3\ --recursive
In my case having endpoint based on us-east region and I am copying objects into D:\s3 directory.
Recursively copying local files to S3: When passed with the parameter --recursive, the following cp command recursively copies all files under a specified directory to a specified bucket.
C:\Users\Shashank>aws s3 cp myDir s3://yourBucketName/ --recursive
for example:
C:\Users\Shashank>aws --endpoint-url http://s3.us-east.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud s3 cp D:\s3 s3://yourBucketName/ --recursive
I am copying objects from D:\s3 directory to COS.
For more reference, you can see the link here.
I hope it works for you.
I want to use Google Cloud Storage as a static website and the index.html object is stored in my bucket sub directory/folder, let's say my-directory
It is only accessible on this location www.example.com/my-directory/index.html but I want to access as www.example.com/my-directory/ Is it possible?
I have tried to add MainPageSuffix as index.html but it's work only at root level.
For future readers: It is possible, but due to a slight quirk hinted at here you may actually have an empty object named my-directory/ and an object named my-directory/index.html so when you try and view it in your browser you are hitting the empty object that is not publicly accessible named my-directory/.
It's possible to determine if you have an empty object by using gsutil:
gsutil ls -R gs://my-bucket/my-directory*
You should see an output similar to this if you have an empty object:
gs://my-bucket/my-directory/:
gs://my-bucket/my-directory/ <- This is the empty object
gs://my-bucket/my-directory/index.html
To resolve this you can use gsutil to delete the empty object without affecting your other objects in the directory:
gsutil rm gs://my-bucket/my-directory/
I'm trying to insert some storage data onto Bluemix, I searched many wiki pages but I couldn't come to conclude how to proceed. So can any one tell me how to store images, files in storage of Bluemix through any language code ( Java, Node.js)?
You have several options at your disposal for storing files in your app. None of them include doing it in the app container file system as the file space is ephemeral and will be recreated from the droplet each time a new instance of your app is created.
You can use services like MongoLab, Cloudant, Object Storage, and Redis to store all kinda of blob data.
Assuming that you're using Bluemix to write a Cloud Foundry application, another option is sshfs. At your app's startup time, you can use sshfs to create a connection to a remote server that is mounted as a local directory. For example, you could create a ./data directory that points to a remote SSH server and provides a persistent storage location for your app.
Here is a blog post explaining how this strategy works and a source repo showing it used to host a Wordpress blog in a Cloud Foundry app.
Note that as others have suggested, there are a number of services for storing object data. Go to the Bluemix Catalog [1] and select "Data Management" in the left hand margin. Each of those services should have sufficient documentation to get you started, including many sample applications and tutorials. Just click on a service tile, and then click on the "View Docs" button to find the relevant documentation.

Check out https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/#services/ObjectStorageV2/index.html#gettingstarted. The storage service in Bluemix is OpenStack Swift running in Softlayer. Check out this page (http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/) for docs on Swift.
Here is a page that lists some clients for Swift.

As I search There was a service that name was Object Storage service and also was created by IBM. But, at the momenti I couldn't see it in the Bluemix Catalog. I guess , They gave it back and will publish new service in the future.
Be aware that pobject store in bluemix is now S3 compatible. So for instance you can use Boto or boto3 ( for python guys ) It will work 100% API comaptible.
see some example here : https://ibm-public-cos.github.io/crs-docs/crs-python.html
this script helps you to list recursively all objects in all buckets :
import boto3
endpoint = 'https://s3-api.us-geo.objectstorage.softlayer.net'
s3 = boto3.resource('s3', endpoint_url=endpoint)
for bucket in s3.buckets.all():
print(bucket.name)
for obj in bucket.objects.all():
print(" - %s") % obj.key
If you want to specify your credentials this would be :
import boto3
endpoint = 'https://s3-api.us-geo.objectstorage.softlayer.net'
s3 = boto3.resource('s3', endpoint_url=endpoint, aws_access_key_id=YouRACCessKeyGeneratedOnYouBlueMixDAShBoard, aws_secret_access_key=TheSecretKeyThatCOmesWithYourAccessKey, use_ssl=True)
for bucket in s3.buckets.all():
print(bucket.name)
for obj in bucket.objects.all():
print(" - %s") % obj.key
If you want to create a "hello.txt" file in a new bucket. :
import boto3
endpoint = 'https://s3-api.us-geo.objectstorage.softlayer.net'
s3 = boto3.resource('s3', endpoint_url=endpoint, aws_access_key_id=YouRACCessKeyGeneratedOnYouBlueMixDAShBoard, aws_secret_access_key=TheSecretKeyThatCOmesWithYourAccessKey, use_ssl=True)
my_bucket=s3.create_bucket('my-new-bucket')
s3.Object(my_bucket, 'hello.txt').put(Body=b"I'm a test file")
If you want to upload a file in a new bucket :
import boto3
endpoint = 'https://s3-api.us-geo.objectstorage.softlayer.net'
s3 = boto3.resource('s3', endpoint_url=endpoint, aws_access_key_id=YouRACCessKeyGeneratedOnYouBlueMixDAShBoard, aws_secret_access_key=TheSecretKeyThatCOmesWithYourAccessKey, use_ssl=True)
my_bucket=s3.create_bucket('my-new-bucket')
timestampstr = str (timestamp)
s3.Bucket(my_bucket).upload_file(<location of yourfile>,<your file name>, ExtraArgs={ "ACL": "public-read", "Metadata": {"METADATA1": "resultat" ,"METADATA2": "1000","gid": "blabala000", "timestamp": timestampstr },},)
