Hi all,

I can see that cloudstack has S3 support , and we can enable the S3 flag in=
 Cloudstack.
However, I want to know if I can let user create storage buckets and give u=
sers a key with which they can put data into these storage buckets.
I think, I can have my own huge single NFS storage server, and as the user =
come I can assign buckets on the server.

Let me know if this is possible from cloudstack, if yes then which API docu=
mentation can help me find a solution.

Thanks and Regards.

Asmita=20

The storage.root parameter in cloud-bridge.properties can point to any
filesystem: with this you will get a filesystem-backed S3 service.
However the reliability, durability and scalability are guaranteed by the c=
hoice of filesystem. For example if the filesystem is an NFS mount provided=
 by a NetApp server, the reliability properties of the NetApp server would =
apply.
