Import existing buckets using the Portworx Object Service for AWS EKS

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

  3. 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
  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
    s3-pba-existing true px-os-credentials-s3-pba-existing existing-bucket-id S3Driver
  5. 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
