Find out how to create your Public Cloud Archive containers in the OVHcloud Console

Objective

The Public Cloud Archive offer is an unlimited storage solution with simple billing tailored to your needs. There are many types of object containers:

  • For static hosting (static website).
  • For private hosting (e.g. storage of personal data).
  • For public hosting (to store everything that is accessible to the public).
  • For cold storage (archiving).

The first step is to create a container that will hold your files.

This guide explains how to create a container in the OVHcloud Console.

Requirements

OVHcloud Console Access

  • Direct link:
  • Navigation path: Public Cloud > Select your project > Storage > Cloud Archive

Instructions

Creating a Public Cloud Archive container from the OVHcloud Console

In the left-hand menu of your Public Cloud project, click Cloud Archive under Storage, then click Create an archive container.

In the Container name section, a name is suggested: keep it or enter your own (3 to 63 lowercase characters, . and - allowed).

In the Region section, select the region of your container.

Warning

If you want to link your container to a domain name, your container name must not contain the following characters:

  • [ . ]
  • [ _ ]
  • And you must not use capital letters.

Refer to our guide on linking a container to a domain name if necessary.

Check the summary, then click Create. Your container appears in the Cloud Archive list.
