Versioning Configuration of a Bucket

hashtag
GetBucketVersioning

get
/{Bucket}?versioning

Returns the versioning state of a bucket.

Permissions

You must be the contract owner or an administrator to perform this operation. If not, they can grant you permission to perform the s3:GetBucketVersioning operation using Bucket Policy.

S3 API Compatibility

  • The x-amz-expected-bucket-owner header isn't supported.

Authorizations
AuthorizationstringRequired

IONOS Object Storage API requests are authenticated using the AWS signature. The IONOS Object Storage API authenticates users using a customized HTTP scheme based on a keyed-HMAC (Hash Message Authentication Code). The process of generating the proper Authorization header is somewhat involved. We recommend that you make use of a tool such as Postman.

In the Authorization tab for a request, select AWS Signature from the Type dropdown list. Specify where Postman should append your authorization data using the Add authorization data to drop-down menu.

  • If you select Request Headers, Postman populates the Headers tab with Authorization and X-Amz- prefixed fields.

  • If you select Request URL, Postman populates the Params tab with authentication details prefixed with X-Amz-.

Note: The parameters listed below contain confidential information. We recommend using variables to keep this data secure while working in a collaborative environment.

  • For Access Key, enter your access key directly in the fields or through variables for added security.

  • For Secret Key, enter your secret key directly in the fields or through variables for added security.

Advanced fields are optional, but Postman will attempt to generate them automatically if necessary.

  • For AWS Region, enter one of the regions (eu-central-3) where your bucket is hosted.

  • For Service Name, enter s3. The name of the service that receives the requests.

  • For Session Token, leave the field blank. This is only required when temporary security credentials are used.

hashtag
PutBucketVersioning

put
/{Bucket}?versioning

Configures the versioning state of an object storage bucket. Versioning allows keeping multiple variants of an object in the same bucket.

The versioning state can be one of the following:

  • Enabled: Activates versioning for the bucket. All objects added receive a unique version ID.

  • Suspended: Deactivates versioning. New objects get a null version ID. However, previously created version IDs persist.

Lifecycle configuration for versioned buckets

With Versioning, a bucket maintains one current version of an object and potentially multiple noncurrent (previous) versions, requiring additional management to handle noncurrent object version deletions using a Lifecycle Configuration.

Permissions

You must be the contract owner or an administrator to perform this operation. If not, they can grant you permission to perform the s3:PutBucketVersioning operation using Bucket Policy.

S3 API Compatibility

  • The x-amz-mfa header is not supported.

  • The MfaDelete setting is ignored in the PUT request.
