Fleets & Multi-Cloud
A Fleet is one connected bucket. It's the core unit in storafleet — every bucket you manage, whether you bring your own or use a managed bucket, shows up as a Fleet in your workspace.
What is a Fleet?
A Fleet is a single connected bucket together with everything storafleet needs to talk to it — its display name, the bucket name and region, the provider, and how the connection authenticates. Each Fleet is either a bucket you connected yourself or a managed bucket that storafleet provisioned for you.
Many Fleets per workspace
A workspace can hold many Fleets — across different accounts and different clouds. You aren't limited to one provider or one account: you can have buckets from several AWS accounts, a Cloudflare R2 bucket, and a MinIO endpoint all side by side in the same workspace.
Supported clouds
A Fleet can connect to any of these:
- AWS S3
- Cloudflare R2
- Backblaze B2
- Wasabi
- MinIO
- DigitalOcean Spaces
- Any other S3-compatible endpoint
Independent connections
Each Fleet is an independent connection with its own credentials — access keys or an IAM-Role — or it's a managed bucket that storafleet authenticates for you. Fleets don't share credentials, so adding, editing, or removing one never affects the others.
A multi-cloud control plane
Because a single workspace spans accounts and clouds through independent Fleets, this is what makes storafleet a multi-cloud control plane rather than a single-cloud console — one place to manage buckets wherever they live. Different providers support different features, so storafleet only shows the actions a given provider supports; see Provider capabilities.
