With the efforts of software developers around the world, integration of S3 storage into software you use is becoming more and more accessible and easier to implement.
Often the whole integration process comes down to a few simple steps:
Step 1: Create account in Pilvio portal.
Step 2: Create bucket in Storage tab.
After this step, you will get Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
Step3: Select S3 compatible storage in your application.
Step4: Fill S3 configuration fields in your application config.
So the most common fields are:
1) Host or server.
2) Port.
3) Access Key ID.
4) Secret Access Key.
5) Bucket.
It should be set as s3.pilw.io or https://s3.pilw.io
It should be set as 443 or HTTPS.
Your Access Key ID from Pilvio dashboard.
Your Secret Access Key Pilvio dashboard.
Name of bucket you have created.
Sometimes you also need to fill in region.
We do not currently use the concept of regions in our S3 Storage, so the general recommendation is to leave region as an empty field.
If your software does require region to be set, you can try the following options:
1) us-east-1
2) ee-east
Example:
Host: s3.pilw.io
Port: 443
Access Key ID: 1HMGRV02GZABY13QNKJE (replace with your access key id)
Secret Access Key: *************************
Bucket: mybucket
Another Example:
Server: s3.pilw.io
Scheme: HTTPS
Access Key ID: 1HMGRV02GZABY13QNKJE (replace with your access key id)
Secret Access Key: *************************
Bucket: mybucket
Region: us-east-1
What can indicate that your software cannot be integrated with Pilvio S3?
1) If there is no S3 compatible or Amazon S3 as storage option for this application.
2) If there is Amazon S3 option, but you cannot set s3.pilw.io as host or server.
But anyway, if you have a doubt whether your software can possibly be integrated with our S3 storage or not, please feel free to contact us to get necessary assistance.
