Create Bucket

You must create a bucket before you can upload your files. The following code can be used to create one.

Components

Bucket Name

Pay attention to the following details when naming the bucket:

  • The bucket's name must be unique. The uniqueness of this name will be verified over the entire ArvanCloud Object Storage.
  • Special characters like the dot (. ), the hyphen (-), and the asterisk (!) should not be used in the bucket's name.
  • Both capital and lowercase characters may be used to specify the bucket's name. However, after the bucket is created, the name will be changed to lowercase.
  • Only English lettering should be used for the bucket's name.
  • The bucket's name must have at least three letters.

Bucket ACL

The access level of the bucket defines how to access the information inside it.
