Question 1

Why do you need object storage?

Accepted Answer

Object storage is a solution that allows you to store and quickly access a virtually unlimited amount of unstructured data (objects). An object can be any static content: archives, backups, images or media files, text documents, and so on.
                Object storage eliminates the need to organize local data storage for your applications and services, allowing you to focus on working with data, rather than on how to ensure its fault-tolerant storage and access.
                Thanks to the https protocol, the ability to configure CORS and connect your own subdomain, object storage is a convenient means of storing static files for websites, which allows you to significantly optimize the final cost of hosting.

Question 2

S3 Storage - What is it? What is S3 for?

Accepted Answer

S3 storage is a type of cloud storage solution that uses the S3 (Simple Storage Service) protocol originally developed by Amazon.
                The S3 protocol is unique in that it provides a standardized interface for interacting with object storage, making it easy to store, retrieve, and manage data over the Internet. The S3 protocol is widely supported in both existing software and in libraries and SDKs for software being developed.

Question 3

How does S3 work?

Accepted Answer

The basic principle of S3 is that such object storage involves storing data as objects inside buckets, providing high scalability and availability for various applications and services. The key advantages of S3 are convenience and security of access to data 24/7, reliability, the ability to optimize infrastructure and monitor performance.

Question 4

How is object storage different from other types of storage?

Accepted Answer

Object storage differs from other types of storage, such as block and file storage, in its structure and data management methods. In object storage, data is stored as objects, each of which includes not only the data itself, but also metadata and a unique identifier.
                Unlike file storage, object storage has no requirement for hierarchical organization of objects and no resulting scaling limit.
                Block storage is designed to handle blocks of data of a certain length, rather than files or objects, and is intended to solve lower-level problems, such as network drives that are used to host the desired file system.

Question 5

How is storage billed? How much data can I store in it?

Accepted Answer

The cost of S3 storage is calculated based on the volume of data actually placed. You can create an unlimited number of buckets and upload any number of files to them.
                  Тарификация осуществляется следующим образом:
                  При хранении менее 1 ГБ данных оплата взимается как за 1 ГБ — 0,07 ₽ в день.
                  Объём данных округляется до целого гигабайта. Например, если вы загрузили, например, 250 МБ, в расчёт пойдёт 1 ГБ.
                  Pay only for the actual space you occupy. Empty buckets are not charged

Question 6

How is data backup and access to it ensured?

Accepted Answer

Our storage stores each object in three copies on different physical media located in different servers, which are located in different server racks. Thus, even a complete failure of any entire server rack will not lead to a loss of access to data. Several gateways are used to access data, each of which completely backs up the other.

Question 7

How compatible is your storage with Amazon S3?

Accepted Answer

Our storage is based on the current version of Ceph. This solution provides compatibility with Amazon S3 in most methods for working with buckets and data and has sufficient compatibility to work with almost all software solutions that expect to use Amazon S3.

Question 8

How to transfer data (migrate) to your storage?

Accepted Answer

You can use any compatible data copying tool (for example, rclone). We are also ready to help you with the migration and perform it for you. To do this, just contact us in any convenient way.

Question 9

Is it possible to mount the storage as a network drive?

Accepted Answer

There are solutions to connect object storage as a local disk. For Linux systems, we have prepared detailed instructions on connecting storage via s3fs.

Question 10

Bucket - what is it? How is a bucket related to storage?

Accepted Answer

Storage is the name of the service. Storage in S3 terms would mean a bucket. So, these terms can be considered equivalent. You can create a bucket in S3 in the control panel, in the Cloud section.
                Each bucket in the object storage is its own separate independent space for storing files. Separate access is provided to each storage, you can link your own subdomain, and carry out independent management. The number of created storages is unlimited. Tariffing is carried out according to the total volume of information stored in all storages.
