Adding Scality-Artesca-S3 cloud tier

Adding a Scality-Artesca-S3 cloud tier

To add a Scality-Artesca-S3 cloud storage group, complete the following steps:

  1. In the navigation menu, click Cloud Storage to expand the menu, then click Cloud Tier.
  2. Click Configure.
  3. In the Cloud Provider drop-down, select Scality-Artesca-S3.
  4. Provide a container name. This is the name of your existing Azure container.
  5. Enter your Connection String using one of the two methods below:
    Default - this option will compile your connection string into the correct format using the inputs below.
    • Access key - The access key is typically 20 upper-case English characters.
    • Secret key - Thesecret keyis generated automatically by the cloud provider. It is typically 40 characters, including mixed upper and lower-case and special symbols.
    • Region - The region specifies the region in which you want to deploy your backup solution. To obtain the region code refer vendor documentation.
    • Endpoint- If you are using VPC endpoints, enter the correct endpoint information.
    Custom - this option allows you to enter your connection string with additional parameters.
    • Your connection string uses the following syntax:
      "accesskey=<ABDCEWERS>;secretkey=< >; loglevel=warn; region=<cloud-provider- region>;endpoint=<S3 cloud storage endpoint url>"

      Please note the following:

      1. The access key is typically 20 upper-case English characters
      2. The secret key is generated automatically by the cloud provider. It is typically 40 characters, including mixed upper and lower-case and special symbols.
      3. The region specifies the region in which you want to deploy your backup solution. Refer vendor documentation for more details.

      An example of a connection string with syntax is as follows. Logically, each connection string is unique.

      accesskey=AKIARERFUCFODHFJUCWK;secretkey=p+8/T+o5WeZkX11QbuPazHX1Id WbwgFplxuVlO8J;loglevel=warn;region=us-east-1;
  6. Enable Cloud Locking : Select this option to achieve immutability of data tiered to the cloud.

    NOTE:Cloud Locking works with RDA and Object containers only. Data that is set as immutable on the local storage is also set as immutable when tiered to the cloud.

    Enabling locking at the Cloud Tier is required so the containers that are tiering data to this Cloud Tier can choose to enable locking as part of their cloud tiering policy.

  7. To apply encryption, in the Cloud Tier Encryption section enter the following:
    • Passphrase — the passphrase is user-defined and is used to generate a passphrase key that encrypts the file in which the content encryption keys are kept. The passphrase is a human readable key, which can be up to 255 bytes in length. It is mandatory to define a passphrase to enable encryption.

      IMPORTANT: It is mandatory to define a passphrase to enable encryption. If the passphrase is compromised or lost, the administrator should change it immediately so that the content encryption keys do not become vulnerable. If this passphrase is lost or forgotten, data in the cloud will be unrecoverable.

    • Confirm Passphrase — re-enter the passphrase used above.
  8. Click Configure. A Cloud Storage Group will be created.
  9. To enable replication to the cloud, you must link a local container to the cloud using the procedures in Adding a cloud tiering policy.

Adding an S3 Compatible cloud tier

To add a cloud storage group, complete the following steps

  1. In the navigation menu, click Cloud Storage to expand the menu, then click Cloud Tier.
  2. In the Cloud pane, click Configure to add a cloud tier.
  3. In the Cloud Provider drop-down, select S3 Compatible.
  4. Provide a container name. This is the existing name of your container in your cloud platform.
  5. Enter your Connection String using one of the two methods below:
    • Default - this option will compile your connection string into the correct format using the inputs below.
      • Access key - The access key is typically 20 upper-case English characters
      • Secret key - The secret key is generated automatically by the cloud provider. It is typically 40 characters, including mixed upper and lower-case and special symbols.
      • Region - The region specifies the provider-specific region in which you want to deploy your backup solution. To obtain your region code, see the documentation for your vendor.
      • Endpoint - If you are using VPC endpoints, enter the correct endpoint information.
    • Custom - this option allows you to enter your connection string with additional parameters.
      • Your connection string uses the following syntax:

        "accesskey=<ABDCEWERS>;secretkey=< >; loglevel=warn; region=<cloud-provider-region>;endpoint=<S3 cloud storage endpoint url>"

        Please note the following:

        1. The access key is typically 20 upper-case English characters
        2. The secret key is generated automatically by the cloud provider. It is typically 40 characters, including mixed upper and lower-case and special symbols.
        3. The region specifies the provider-specific region in which you want to deploy your backup solution. To obtain your region code, see the documentation for your vendor.

        An example of a connection string with this syntax follows. Logically, each connection string is unique.

        accesskey=AKIARERFUCFODHFJUCWK;secretkey=p+8/T+o5WeZkX11QbuPazHX1IdWbwgFplxuVlO8J;loglevel=warn;region=eu-central-1;
