Object Storage - Endpoints and geoavailability
We have designed the Object Storage classes to be compatible with the S3™*-compatible API, considered a benchmark in the object storage market. You can therefore use Object Storage with most data management tools via the endpoints defined by region and not storage class. Click here to learn all about Object Storage features.
Object Storage
OVHcloud Object Storage can be accessed through a unique endpoint: https://s3.<region>.io.cloud.ovh.us. This unique endpoint can address all buckets and all objects in both the Standard and High Performance storage classes. All operations are supported through this unique endpoint.
If using Object Storage in a Local Zone, only Standard storage class is available, and the endpoint will be in the following format: https://s3.<local_zone>.cloud.ovh.us.
The examples used in this guide are based on regions, not Local Zones.
List of available regions
The bucket endpoint is a URL (e.g., https://my-bucket.s3.us-east-va-io-cloud.ovh.us) representing a virtual-host-style endpoint.
List of available Local Zones
NOTE: Only Standard (not High Performance) Object Storage is available for Local Zones.
The bucket endpoint is a URL (e.g., https://my-bucket.s3.us-east-lz-atl-a.cloud.ovh.us) representing a virtual host style endpoint.
Mapping from AWS S3® Storage tiers to OVHcloud Storage tiers
The mapping for WRITE(PUT) operations on the io endpoint is the following:
The mapping for READ(GET/LIST/HEAD) operations on the io endpoint is the following:
NOTE: Unlike AWS, Express One Zone will be treated as a regular storage class by OVHcloud, and all our supported S3™*-compatible features and API operations are available.
Endpoint backward compatibility
NOTE: The perf endpoint is maintained for backward compatibility purposes only, to allow tools that don't support AWS's recent Express_One_Zone storage class to continue operating on our Object Storage. We strongly encourage you to migrate to the target io endpoint wherever possible.
Although the io endpoint is the preferred endpoint to access OVHcloud Object Storage, the legacy endpoint https://s3.<region>.perf.cloud.ovh.us is maintained for backward compatibility purposes for tools and applications that do not support the latest AWS Express One Zone storage class. This legacy endpoint can also address all buckets and all objects in both Standard and High Performance storage classes and supports all API operations, including listBucket.
The mapping for WRITE(PUT) operations on the perf endpoint is the following:
The mapping for READ(GET/LIST/HEAD) operations on the perf endpoint is the following:

[2]: The default storage class on the io endpoint will be Standard, i.e., if you don't specify a storage class, your object will be stored in our Standard tier.
[3]: The default storage tier on the perf endpoint will be High Performance, i.e., if you don't specify a storage class, your object will be stored in our High Performance tier.
