Import existing buckets using the Portworx Object Service for FlashArray

This page describes how to import existing buckets using AWS S3

AWS S3​

Use the following steps to get started with pre-provisioned buckets:

  1. Create a new file named pxbucketclass.yaml, replacing region and object.portworx.io/endpoint with your desired AWS S3 region and endpoint:

    apiVersion: object.portworx.io/v1alpha1
    kind: PXBucketClass
    metadata:
      name: pbclass-s3
    region: us-west-1
    deletionPolicy: Delete
    parameters:
      object.portworx.io/backend-type: S3Driver
      object.portworx.io/endpoint: s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com

  2. Create the PXBucketClass object:

kubectl apply -f pxbucketclass.yaml

  1. Create a new file named pxbucketaccess.yaml:

    apiVersion: object.portworx.io/v1alpha1
    kind: PXBucketAccess
    metadata:
      name: s3-pba-existing
      namespace: default
    spec:
      bucketClassName: pbclass-s3
      existingBucketId: bucket-name-aws

  2. Once the bucket access is granted, its ACCESSGRANTED state will be marked as true in the CustomResource:

kubectl get pxbucketaccess

NAME              ACCESSGRANTED   CREDENTIALSSECRETNAME               BUCKETID               BACKENDTYPE
s3-pba-existing   true            px-os-credentials-s3-pba-existing   existing-bucket-id     S3Driver
  1. A secret px-os-credentials-s3-pba-existing will be created with all necessary bucket info:

kubectl get secret px-os-credentials-s3-pba -o yaml

apiVersion: v1
data:
  access-key-id: <ACCESS-KEY-ID>
  bucket-id: <BUCKET-ID>
  endpoint: <ENDPOINT>
  region: <REGION>
  secret-access-key: <SECRET-ACCESS-KEY>
kind: Secret
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: "2022-08-03T21:27:25Z"
  finalizers:
  - finalizers.object.portworx.io/access-secret
  name: px-os-credentials-s3-pba
  namespace: default
  resourceVersion: "16022682"
  uid: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-9e9d30aba97c
type: Opaque

Pure FlashBlade​

Use the following steps to get started with pre-provisioned buckets:

  1. Create a new file named pxbucketclass.yaml, replacing region and object.portworx.io/endpoint with your desired Pure FlashBlade region and endpoint:

    apiVersion: object.portworx.io/v1alpha1
    kind: PXBucketClass
    metadata:
      name: pbclass-fb
    deletionPolicy: Delete
    parameters:
      object.portworx.io/backend-type: PureFBDriver
      object.portworx.io/endpoint: fb.fb.endpoint.example.com

  2. Create the PXBucketClass object:

    kubectl apply -f pxbucketclass.yaml

  3. Create a new file named pxbucketaccess.yaml:

    apiVersion: object.portworx.io/v1alpha1
    kind: PXBucketAccess
    metadata:
      name: fb-pba-existing
      namespace: default
    spec:
      bucketClassName: pbclass-fb
      existingBucketId: bucket-name-aws

  4. Once the bucket access is granted, its ACCESSGRANTED state will be marked as true in the CustomResource:

    kubectl get pxbucketaccess
    NAME              ACCESSGRANTED   CREDENTIALSSECRETNAME               BUCKETID               BACKENDTYPE
    fb-pba-existing   true            px-os-credentials-fb-pba-existing   existing-bucket-id     PureFBDriver

  5. A secret px-os-credentials-fb-pba-existing is created with all necessary bucket info:

    kubectl get secret px-os-credentials-fb-pba -o yaml
    apiVersion: v1
    data:
      access-key-id: <ACCESS-KEY-ID>
      bucket-id: <BUCKET-ID>
      endpoint: <ENDPOINT>
      region: <REGION>
      secret-access-key: <SECRET-ACCESS-KEY>
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      creationTimestamp: "2022-08-03T21:27:25Z"
      finalizers:
      - finalizers.object.portworx.io/access-secret
      name: px-os-credentials-fb-pba
      namespace: default
      resourceVersion: "16022682"
      uid: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-9e9d30aba97c
    type: Opaque
