Create an object container in Horizon

The first step to using the Public Cloud storage solution is creating a container for your files. This guide explains how to create one from OpenStack Horizon.

Prerequisites

• Configure user access to Horizon

• Log in to Horizon
• Select "Object Store" on the left

• Click on "Create Container"

A new window will open:

From here you can:

• Name your container
• Select the type of container

|Public|Accessible to everyone| |---| |Public|Accessible to everyone| |Private|Only accessible with authentication|

After this, your container will appear and new options will become available:

You can:

• See the details of your container
• Make it public or private
• Delete it

If you click on the name of your container you can also:

• Create a pseudo-folder

In fact, the data placed in the Object Storage is not stored in a traditional hierarchical system (Folder > Subfolder and so on...) Data is all stored at the same level, which makes files quicker to access. Pseudo-folders are organised by a common prefix on the object's name which means that you can organise your data in a different way.

• Upload your files
• Delete your files and pseudo-folders
• Download your files
• Copy your files
• See file details
