Object Storage

Object Storage is an S3-compatible cloud storage service on NexQloud. Store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere using standard S3 tools and SDKs — including boto3, aws-cli, and any S3-compatible library.

Key Features

• S3-Compatible API: Works with boto3, aws-cli, and all S3-compatible SDKs out of the box
• Global Endpoint: Single endpoint (https://storage.dcp.nexqloud.net) accessible worldwide
• Per-Bucket Access Keys: Granular credentials scoped to specific buckets
• Multipart Uploads: Upload large files (up to 5 GB single, unlimited via multipart)
• Usage Tracking: Per-bucket metrics for data transfer and API operations
• Dashboard Management: Upload, browse, and delete objects via the web console
• Presigned URLs: Generate time-limited shareable links for objects

Use Cases

• Static assets: Store images, CSS, JavaScript, and media files for web applications
• Application backups: Automated backup storage with programmatic access
• Data lakes: Centralized storage for analytics and machine learning pipelines
• Media storage: Video, audio, and image hosting with direct download links
• Artifact storage: CI/CD build outputs, container layers, and deployment packages

Architecture

Object Storage uses a single global endpoint. Buckets are created via the dashboard and accessed programmatically through S3-compatible credentials.

Getting Started

1. Create a Bucket — set up your first storage bucket
2. Manage Access Keys — generate S3-compatible credentials
3. Use the S3 API — connect with boto3 or aws-cli
