Create buckets using the Portworx Object Service in FlashArray

This page describes how to create and provide access to a Portworx Bucket Claim using AWS S3

AWS S3

Use the following steps to get started with dynamically provisioned buckets.

Provision a new bucket

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 pxbucketclaim.yaml:

   apiVersion: object.portworx.io/v1alpha1
   kind: PXBucketClaim
   metadata:
     name: s3-pbc
     namespace: default
   spec:
     bucketClassName: pbclass-s3

4. Create the PXBucketClaim object:

   kubectl apply -f pxbucketclaim.yaml

5. Once the bucket is provisioned, its PROVISIONED state will be listed as true in the CustomResource:

   kubectl get pxbucketclaim

   NAME     PROVISIONED   BUCKETID                                     BACKENDTYPE
   s3-pbc   true          px-os-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-ac6595c2b721   S3Driver

Provide Access to the PXBucketClaim

1. Create a new file named pxbucketaccess.yaml:

   apiVersion: object.portworx.io/v1alpha1
   kind: PXBucketAccess
   metadata:
     name: s3-pba
     namespace: default
   spec:
     bucketClassName: pbclass-s3
     bucketClaimName: s3-pbc

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   true            px-os-credentials-s3-pba   px-os-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-ac6595c2b721   S3Driver

3. A secret px-os-credentials-s3-pba is created with all nessesary 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 dynamically provisioned buckets.

Provision a new bucket

1. Create a new file named pxbucketclass.yaml, removing region and replacing object.portworx.io/endpoint with your desired Pure FlashBlade 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.s3.example.com

2. Create the PXBucketClass object:

   kubectl apply -f pxbucketclass.yaml

3. Create a new file named pxbucketclaim.yaml:

   apiVersion: object.portworx.io/v1alpha1
   kind: PXBucketClaim
   metadata:
     name: fb-pbc
     namespace: default
   spec:
     bucketClassName: pbclass-fb

4. Create the PXBucketClaim object:

   kubectl apply -f pxbucketclaim.yaml

5. Once the bucket is provisioned, its PROVISIONED state will be listed as true in the CustomResource:

   kubectl get pxbucketclaim

   NAME     PROVISIONED   BUCKETID                                     BACKENDTYPE
   fb-pbc   true          px-os-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-ac6595c2b721   PureFBDriver

Provide access to the PXBucketClaim

1. Create a new file named pxbucketaccess.yaml:

   apiVersion: object.portworx.io/v1alpha1
   kind: PXBucketAccess
   metadata:
     name: fb-pba
     namespace: default
   spec:
     bucketClassName: pbclass-fb
     bucketClaimName: fb-pbc

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
   fb-pba   true            px-os-credentials-fb-pba   px-os-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-ac6595c2b721   PureFBDriver

3. A secret px-os-credentials-fb-pba is created with all nessesary 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>
     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
