Using AWS CLI with IONOS CLOUD Object Storage

Test if you set up AWS CLI correctly by running a command to list buckets; use any endpoints for testing purposes.

aws s3 ls --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-1.ionoscloud.com

If the setup works correctly, you may proceed with the other commands.

For each command, be sure to include one of the endpoints in the endpoint-url parameter:

--endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

For information on the supported IONOS CLOUD Object Storage service endpoints, see Endpoints.

There are two sets of commands:

• S3: Offers high-level commands for managing buckets and moving, copying, and synchronizing objects.
• S3api: Allows you to work with specific features such as ACL, CORS, and Versioning.

For additional information, see the official AWS CLI Command Reference.
