We have designed the Object Storage classes to be compatible with the S3™* 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.

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 with 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.
List of available regions
| Region name | Region (entered in lowercase) | Protocol | Signature version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vint Hill | us-east-va | HTTPS | 4 |
| Hillsboro | us-west-or | HTTPS | 4 |
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.
| Local Zone name | Local Zone (entered in lowercase) | Protocol | Signature version |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York | us-east-lz-nyc-a | HTTPS | 4 |
| Chicago | us-east-lz-chi-a | HTTPS | 4 |
| Dallas | us-east-lz-dal-a | HTTPS | 4 |
| Miami | us-east-lz-mia-a | HTTPS | 4 |
| Los Angeles | us-east-lz-lax-a | HTTPS | 4 |
| Palo Alto | us-east-lz-pao-a | HTTPS | 4 |
| Denver | us-east-lz-den-a | HTTPS | 4 |
| Atlanta | us-east-lz-atl-a | HTTPS | 4 |
| Seattle | us-west-lz-sea-a | HTTPS | 4 |
| Boston | us-east-lz-bos-a | HTTPS | 4 |
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:
| AWS | Mapping before 2024-06-18 | Mapping after 2024-06-18 |
|---|---|---|
| EXPRESS_ONEZONE | Standard | High Performance |
| STANDARD | Standard | |
| default* | ||
| STANDARD_IA | ||
| INTELLIGENT_TIERING | ||
| ONEZONE_IA | ||
| GLACIER_IR | ||
| GLACIER | ||
| DEEP_ARCHIVE |
The default storage class on the io* endpoint will be Standard, i.e. if you don't specify a storage class or if you specify a storage class other than those provided by AWS, your object will be stored in our Standard tier.
The mapping for READ(GET/LIST/HEAD) operations on the io endpoint is the following:
| AWS | Mapping after 2024-06-18 |
|---|---|
| EXPRESS_ONEZONE | High Performance |
| STANDARD | Standard |
NOTE: Unlike AWS, Express One Zone will be treated as a regular storage class by OVHcloud and all features and API operations will be available.
NOTE: The storage class will no longer be defined at the bucket creation level, but at the individual object upload level.
The perf endpoint will be 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 thus we strongly encourage you to migrate to the target io endpoint wherever possible.
Endpoint retrocompatibility
Although the io endpoint is the preferred endpoint to access the OVHcloud Object Storage service, the legacy endpoint https://s3.<region>.perf.cloud.ovh.us will still be maintained for retrocompatibility purposes for tools and applications that do not support the latest AWS Express One Zone storage class. This legacy endpoint will also be able to address all buckets and all objects in both Standard and High Performance storage classes and will support all API operations including listBucket.
The mapping for WRITE(PUT) operations on the perf endpoint is the following:
| AWS | Mapping before 2024-06-18 | Mapping after 2024-06-18 |
|---|---|---|
| EXPRESS_ONEZONE | High Performance | High Performance |
| STANDARD | ||
| default* | ||
| STANDARD_IA | Standard | |
| INTELLIGENT_TIERING | ||
| ONEZONE_IA | ||
| GLACIER_IR | ||
| GLACIER | ||
| DEEP_ARCHIVE |
The default storage class on the perf* endpoint will be High Performance, i.e. if you don't specify a storage class or if you specify a storage class other than those provided by AWS, your object will be stored in our High Performance tier.
The mapping for READ(GET/LIST/HEAD) operations on the perf endpoint is the following:
| AWS | Mapping from 2024-06-10 |
|---|---|
| STANDARD | High Performance |
| STANDARD_IA | Standard |
Object Storage Swift
| Storage solution | Endpoint URL | Region (entered in lowercase) |
|---|---|---|
| Object Storage SWIFT - Standard - Legacy | https://s3.<region>.cloud.ovh.us |
Vint Hill: us-east-va Hillsboro: us-west-or |
