Create a Bucket
When creating a bucket, you must carefully consider the following settings:
To enable Object Lock or not for the bucket.
The Object Storage bucket can be created through one of the following methods:
Web console
The easiest way to create a bucket is by using the S3 web console. You must create a bucket before you can start uploading objects to the Object Storage.
To create an Object Storage bucket, follow these steps:
1. In the DCD, go to Menu > Storage > IONOS S3 Object Storage.
2. In the Buckets tab, choose the Bucket region which determines the geographical location where the data inside the buckets will be stored. For more information on choosing the right bucket region, see Bucket region.
3. Enter a unique name for the Bucket name that adheres to the naming conventions for a bucket.
Note: A bucket will not be created if a bucket with the same name already exists in the IONOS S3 Object Storage.
4. (Optional) Choose whether you want to enable the Object Lock for the bucket. If yes, then select the Enable Object Lock checkbox.
5. If the Object Lock is enabled, select the mode of Object Lock to apply on the objects uploaded to the bucket. Choose from the Governance mode or Compliance mode and input the Retention period in days or years. For more information, see Modes.
Note: When enabling Object Lock, Versioning is enabled for the bucket by default.
6. Click Create bucket.
Result: A bucket is created in the selected S3 region.

Using the Create Bucket API, you can create a bucket with or without the object lock.
