Object storage operations

Overview​

Portworx Object Service allows storage admins to provision object storage buckets with various backing providers using custom Kubernetes objects. You control this provisioning with a set of CustomResourceDefinition entries that are managed by Stork, which are as follows:

Supported object services​

Portworx Object Service provides an abstraction to use any object backend through Kubernetes. The following object backends are supported during early access:

  • Pure FlashBlade

  • AWS S3

    important

    Ensure that your object store is compatible with AWS SDK v2. Portworx uses SDK v2 starting with version 3.4.1, following the end of life (EOL) of SDK v1. While Portworx is fully S3-compliant as a client, SDK v2 includes stricter data integrity checks that are enabled by default. Some object storage systems, such as older versions of MinIO or other S3-compatible backends may not fully support these checks and can cause compatibility issues.
