**Info:**

* The `access_key` and `secret_key` can be retrieved in the DCD, go to **Menu** > **Storage** > **IONOS Object Storage** > **Key management**.
* For the list of <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud\_object\_storage</code> Service endpoints, see [<mark style="color:blue;">Endpoints</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/backup-and-storage/ionos-object-storage/endpoints).

```hcl
terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.50.0"
    }
  }
}

  region                      = "de"
  access_key                  = "access_key_here"
  secret_key                  = "secret_key_here"
  # all these checks need to be skipped for an s3 external provider
  skip_credentials_validation = true

  }
}
```

### Object Storage bucket with Object Lock enabled

```hcl
terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.50.0"
    }
  }
}

provider "aws" {
  region                      = "de"
  access_key                  = "access_key_here"
  secret_key                  = "secret_key_here"
  # all these checks need to be skipped for an s3 external provider
  skip_credentials_validation = true
  skip_requesting_account_id  = true
  skip_region_validation      = true
  endpoints {
     s3 = "https://s3-eu-central-1.ionoscloud.com"
  }
}

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "backup_bucket" {
  bucket = "unique_name_here"
  tags = {
    Name        = "backup bucket"
    Environment = "dev"
  }
 object_lock_configuration {
    object_lock_enabled = "Enabled"
    rule {
        default_retention {
            days  = 10
            mode  = "COMPLIANCE"
          }
      }
  }
}
```

### Object Storage bucket with Versioning enabled

```hcl
terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.50.0"
    }
  }
}

  # all these checks need to be skipped for an s3 external provider
  skip_credentials_validation = true
  skip_requesting_account_id  = true
  skip_region_validation      = true
  endpoints {
     s3 = "https://s3.eu-central-1.ionoscloud.com"
  }
}
resource "aws_s3_bucket" "example" {
  bucket = "unique_name_here"
}

resource "aws_s3_bucket_versioning" "example" {
