We have designed the Object Storage storage classes to be compatible with the S3¹-compatible API, considered as a benchmark in the object storage market. You can therefore use Object Storage with most data management tools via the endpoints defined by region, not storage class.

Object Storage

OVHcloud Object Storage can be accessed through a unique endpoint: https://s3.<region>.io.cloud.ovh.net. This unique endpoint can address all buckets and all objects in both Standard and High Performance storage classes. All operations are supported through this unique endpoint.

List of available regions

Geographic zone	Region name	Region To be entered in lower case	Protocol	Signature version	Deployment mode	Storage tier supported
Europe	Gravelines	gra	HTTPS	4	1-AZ region	High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access
	Roubaix	rbx	HTTPS	4	1-AZ region	High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access
	Strasbourg	sbg	HTTPS	4	1-AZ region	High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access
	Paris	eu-west-par	HTTPS	4	3-AZ region	Standard, Infrequent Access, Active Archive and Cold Archive
	Milan	eu-south-mil	HTTPS	4	3-AZ region	Standard, Infrequent Access and Active Archive
	Frankfurt	de	HTTPS	4	1-AZ region	High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access
	London	uk	HTTPS	4	1-AZ region	High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access

	Toronto	ca-east-tor	HTTPS	4	1-AZ region	High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access
Asia-Pacific	Singapore	sgp	HTTPS	4	1-AZ region	High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access
	Sydney	ap-southeast-syd	HTTPS	4	1-AZ region	High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access
	Mumbai	ap-south-mum	HTTPS	4	1-AZ region	High Performance, Standard, Infrequent Access

The bucket endpoint is a URL, for example https://<bucket_name>.s3.<region>.io.cloud.ovh.net, that represents a virtual-host-style endpoint.

Mapping from AWS S3 tiers to OVHcloud Storage tiers

The mapping for WRITE(PUT) operations on the io endpoint is the following:

²: The default storage class on the io endpoint will be Standard, i.e. if you don't specify a storage class, your object will be stored in our Standard tier.

The mapping for READ(GET/LIST/HEAD) operations on the io endpoint is the following:

_³: The Cold Archive storage class is only available in Paris (eu-west-par).

Endpoint backward compatibility

Although the io endpoint is the preferred endpoint to access OVHcloud Object Storage, the legacy endpoint https://s3.<region>.perf.cloud.ovh.net is maintained for backward compatibility for tools and applications that do not support the latest AWS Express One Zone storage class. This legacy endpoint can also address all buckets and all objects in both Standard and High Performance storage classes and supports all API operations, including listBucket.

The mapping for WRITE(PUT) operations on the perf endpoint is the following:

AWS	OVHcloud
EXPRESS_ONEZONE	High Performance
STANDARD
default4
STANDARD_IA	Standard
INTELLIGENT_TIERING
ONEZONE_IA
GLACIER_IR	Infrequent Access
GLACIER
DEEP_ARCHIVE

⁴: The default storage tier on the perf endpoint will be High Performance, i.e. if you don't specify a storage class, your object will be stored in our High Performance tier.

The mapping for READ(GET/LIST/HEAD) operations on the perf endpoint is the following:

AWS	OVHcloud
STANDARD	High Performance
STANDARD_IA	Standard
GLACIER_IR	Infrequent Access
