This page provides an overview of the technical limitations of the S3 Object Storage offer.
Maximum number of containers per project
- 100 (default)
- 1,000 (requires manual intervention, please contact the support team)
Maximum number of objects in a container
Unlimited
Maximum bandwidth per connection
1 Gbps/connection
Maximum number of write requests per second on a container
300 (beyond that, the quality of service is no longer guaranteed)
Maximum size per object/mpu/part
Via a single PUT
Maximum 5 GB per object (use a multi-part upload for an object whose size is above 5GB).
Via a multi-part upload (MPU)
- The size for a single part must be between 5MB (minimum) and 5GB (maximum)
- 10000 parts maximum in a mpu
The theoretical maximum size of a single large object uploaded via MPU is thus 48TB.
Maximum number of user accounts per project
1,000
