AWS S3 Storage

This page describes the configuration options for the S3 Storage resource. The S3 Storage resource is used to configure an AWS S3 bucket as a storage backend.

Configuring the bucket

To configure the bucket, you need to specify the bucket name and the region.

apiVersion: kannika.io/v1alpha
kind: Storage
metadata:
  name: s3-storage
spec:
  s3:
    bucket: my-bucket
    region: us-east-1
    prefix: /path/to/directory          # Optional
    description: "This is an S3 bucket" # Optional

Caution

Changing the bucket, region or prefix will not move existing data.

Configuring authentication to the S3 bucket

Please see the section on AWS Authentication for information on how to configure access to the S3 Storage.

Configuring a data retention policy

A retention policy to delete old data can be configured in a Backup.

Make sure the bucket has no lifecycle policy susceptible to delete or move files, or it might interfere with Armory’s own book keeping.
