Objective
The Swift s3api middleware providing S3 API compatibility has been enabled on all Public Cloud regions. This guide will help you access objects in Swift using a software designed to interact with S3-compatible endpoints.
Requirements
Instructions
Set the OpenStack environment variables
user@host:~$ source <user_name>-openrc.sh
Please enter your OpenStack Password for project <project_name> as user <user_name>:
Install OpenStack client if needed
user@host:~$ pip install python-openstackclient
OpenStack client command reference here.
Create EC2 credentials
S3 tokens are different, you need 2 parameters (access and secret) to generate a S3 token. These credentials will be safely stored in Keystone. To generate it:
With python-openstack client:
user@host:~$ openstack ec2 credentials create

With curl:

Configure aws client
Install the aws client and configure it as follows:
user@host:~$ pip install awscli awscli-plugin-endpoint
[...]
user@host:~$ cat .aws/config
[plugins]
endpoint = awscli_plugin_endpoint
[profile default]
aws_access_key_id = <access fetched in previous step>
aws_secret_access_key = <secret fetched in previous step>
region = <public cloud region in lower case>
s3 =
endpoint_url = https://s3.<public cloud region>.cloud.ovh.us
signature_version = s3v4
addressing_style = virtual
s3api =
endpoint_url = https://s3.<public cloud region>.cloud.ovh.us
Note: Replace <public cloud region> in the above example with either us-east-va or us-west-or for the Vint Hill or Hillsboro data centers respectively.
Virtual hosted-style and path-style access are supported in all regions, but we recommend to use virtual hosted-style since path-style access will be deprecated after September 30, 2020.
Use aws client
List buckets (containers):
user@host:~$ aws --profile default s3 ls
Create a new bucket:
user@host:~$ aws --profile default s3 mb s3://bucket
S3 no longer supports creating bucket names that contain uppercase letters or underscores. S3 Buckets can only be created on PCS policy (Object Storage)
Upload a local file to Swift:
user@host:~$ aws --profile default s3 cp file.txt s3://bucket/file.txt
Download an object from Swift:
user@host:~$ aws --profile default s3 cp s3://bucket/file.txt file.txt
Delete a Swift object:
user@host:~$ aws --profile default s3 rm s3://bucket/file.txt
Delete a bucket:
user@host:~$ aws --profile default s3 rb s3://bucket
